Review evidence that the El Niño Southern Oscillation significantly influences populations around the globe. Much of our discussion in chapter 23 focused on the effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation on populations. Considering our discussions in chapters 18 and 19 of physical controls on rates of terrestrial primary production and decomposition, how does the El Niño Southern Oscillation likely affect these ecosystem processes in Australia or the American Southwest? How would you test your ideas?
