A New Ecology presents an ecosystem theory based on the following
ecosystem properties: physical openness, ontic openness,
directionality, connectivity, a complex dynamic for growth and
development, and a complex dynamic response to disturbances. Each
of these properties is developed in detail to show that these basic
and characteristic properties can be applied to explain a wide
spectrum of ecological obsevations and convections. It is also
shown that the properties have application for environmental
management and for assessment of ecosystem health.
* Demonstrates an ecosystem theory that can be applied to explain
ecological observations and rules
* Presents an ecosystem theory based upon a systems approach
* Discusses an ecosystem theory that is based on a few basic
properties that are characteristic for ecosystmes
A New Ecology: Systems Perspective, Second Edition, gives an
overview of the commonalities of all ecosystems from a variety of
properties, including physical openness, ontic openness,
directionality, connectivity, a complex dynamic for growth and
development, and a complex dynamic response to disturbances. Each
chapter details basic and characteristic properties that help the
reader understand how they can be applied to explain a wide
spectrum of current ecological research and environmental
management applications.
