摘要：
In this essay I first provide an analysis of various community concepts. Second, I evaluate two of the most serious challenges to the existence of communities-gradient and paleoecological analysis respectively-arguing that, properly understood, neither threatens the existence of communities construed interactively. Finally, I apply the same interactive approach to ecosystem ecology, arguing that ecosystems may exist robustly as well.
