Human activities impact the environment and modify the cycles of important elements such as carbon and nitrogen from local to global scales. In order to maintain long-term and sustainable use of the world's natural resources it is important that we understand how and why ecosystems respond to such changes.

I additionally argue that rival persistence enhancing and organizational approaches face serious problems when applied to ecosystem ecology. Lastly, I explore how the systemic capacity approach applies

This unit is about the study of ecology on the biggest scale. It can mostly be understood on its own, although you will get a more rounded view of the science of ecology by reading it with Units 26 and 27. A basic understanding of homeostasis (Unit 15) is assumed.

Ecology: Ecosystems and Biodiversity
2019Using ecosystems as examples, this chapter engages with the emergence of understanding life by producing and assembling modules of knowledge, and finally linking them to create a holistic picture of the entire system. Ecosystems as theoretical units of arbitrary size are understood to consist of abiotic and biotic components on the one hand and of the ...
