Pattern and Process in a Forested Ecosystem: Disturbance, Development, and the Steady State Based on the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study

---

This seminal work synthesizes results from the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study, presenting an integrated analysis of forest ecosystem structure and function. Bormann and Likens examine how disturbance, succession, and steady‑state conditions influence energy flow, nutrient cycling, hydrology, and biomass accumulation in northern hardwood forests of New England. The book played a foundational role in the development of ecosystem ecology, emphasizing the interaction between biological and physical processes and demonstrating the importance of long-term, whole‑ecosystem studies. It includes extensive empirical data, conceptual models, bibliographic references, and an index.
