Functional Robustness of Food Webs: A Dynamic Biomass Framework with Vital Species Sets and Cluster Influence

1. Species loss can erode food-web functioning not only through secondary extinctions, but also through biomass redistribution, weakened energy pathways, and threshold-like functional collapse. Common topology-, connectivity-, and extinc…

1. Species loss can erode food-web functioning not only through secondary extinctions, but also through biomass redistribution, weakened energy pathways, and threshold-like functional collapse. Common topology-, connectivity-, and extinction-based robustness metrics provide…
