Abstract
⺠Regional comparisons are is increasingly used for studying large-scale ecosystems. ⺠Ecosystem comparison is a major tool for understanding ecosystem functioning. ⺠We propose a two-criteria typology to classify existing ecosystem comparison methods. ⺠The typology suggests new methods that could be developed for comparing ecosystems. ⺠Ecologists do not fully exploit large databases that are accessible electronically.
