Helfrich,

associated with the small dry land area and physical
parameters of the environment, especially the climate,
soil, and ground water. The shrubs and trees, man, birds,
rats, and land crabs are among the more conspicuous
elements of the terrestrial biota, whereas climatic
events, the soils, and the availability of ground water
are the most important physical components of the
ecosystem.

Some of the biologists who were attracted to Enewetak
Atoll after the marine research laboratory opened have

been studying species that are typical of reef environs

and plentiful in this setting. Some have been interested
in ecological features, particularly those-9f the

well-developed windward reefs;

and some,

who have

focused on the reef areas as an ecological subsystem,
have been interested in the processes of the atoll as a
whole. They start by noting three contrasting
environments in this large, but typical, atoll. First,
there are the coral
