Spatial subsidies refer to the movement of resources from one location to another within a landscape. This can include the movement of nutrients, energy, or organisms between different habitats or ecosystems. These subsidies can have significant impacts on the receiving ecosystem, influencing its structure, function, and dynamics. Researchers studying spatial subsidies are interested in understanding how these movements of resources affect ecological processes and interactions within ecosystems. They may investigate the mechanisms driving these subsidies, the consequences for recipient ecosystems, and the potential implications for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Overall, research in spatial subsidies helps us better understand the interconnectedness of different habitats and ecosystems, and the importance of these connections for maintaining ecological integrity and resilience.
