Ecology, Economy and Society – The INSEE Journal, 2023 This paper argues for a continuing exploration of Nature’s organizing principles that sustain prolonged homeostasis of the earth’s ecosystems punctuated by forceful transitions to new emergent states. Ecosystems develop and maintain a dynamically stable state by transacting energy and materials with the surrounding flows to keep reversing their ...
