The carrying capacities of 400 species are affected differently by two different environmental conditions, E 1 and E 2. For our purposes, the specific patterns of carrying capacities for the two conditions are arbitrary and can thus be depicted by 20×20 pixel ‘hot’ (a) and ‘cold’ (b) pictograms where a black pixel at location x,y indicates an elevated carrying capacity, (k 0+α), and a white pixel a depressed carrying capacity, (k 0−α), for the (20x+y+1)th species in the ecosystem, Appendix C (the two-dimensions of the pictogram are abstract and do not imply any spatial arrangement of the species)
