Thermodynamics in Ecology—An Introductory Review
Entropy, 2020 How to predict the evolution of ecosystems is one of the numerous questions asked of ecologists by managers and politicians. To answer this we will need to give a scientific definition to concepts like sustainability, integrity, resilience and ecosystem ...

Enzyme kinetics and the maximum entropy production principle [PDF]
Biophysical Chemistry, 2011 A general proof is derived that entropy production can be maximized with respect to rate constants in any enzymatic transition. This result is used to test the assumption that biological evolution of enzyme is accompanied with an increase of entropy production in its internal transitions and that such increase can serve to quantify the progress of ...

Maximum entropy production principle in forest dynamics modelling [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesForest ecosystems are vivid representatives of open non-equilibrium systems. The existence of extreme principles in “ecological thermodynamics” is a subject of discussion in the works of many physicists, ecologists and researchers dealing with non ...

Information Entropy Dynamics and Maximum Entropy Production Principle
CoRR, 2014 The asymptotic convergence of probability density function (pdf) and convergence of differential entropy are examined for the non-stationary processes that follow the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt) and maximum entropy production principle (MEPP).

Is Turbulence a State of Maximum Energy Dissipation?
Entropy, 2017 Turbulent flows are known to enhance turbulent transport. It has then even been suggested that turbulence is a state of maximum energy dissipation.

Maximum entropy production and earthquake dynamics [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 We examine the consistency of natural and model seismicity with the maximum entropy production hypothesis for open, slowly‐driven, steady‐state, dissipative systems. Assuming the commonly‐observed power‐law feedback between remote boundary stress and strain rate at steady state, several natural observations are explained by the system organizing to ...

Universe, 2021 Double-spiral galaxies are common in the Universe. It is known that the logarithmic double spiral is a Maximum Entropy geometry in hyperbolic (flat) spacetime that well represents an idealised spiral galaxy, with its central supermassive black hole (SMBH)
