Ecological Integrity of Hybrid Ecosystems in the Anthropocene: The Impact of Self‐Organization on Function and Sustainability

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We propose a conceptual framework for assessing ecological integrity in hybrid ecosystems based on the identification of active self‐organizing processes and the mapping of their functional contributions. This process‐based approach offers a practical and scalable tool for monitoring ecosystem health and guiding adaptive management strategies in an era
