The complexity of living systems of nature emerges not from a random association of a large number of interacting factors rather from a smaller number of controlling processes. Ecosystems are self-organized, and a small set of critical processes create and maintain this self-organization. Ecological succession can be explained on the basis of ecosystem´s thermodynamics. This dynamic concept of ecological research is reflected in the methodology of ecological integrity assessmen of ecosystems and landscapes. The principal knowledge is that the era of ecosystem research via description of associations is over. We are now in an era of transformation, in which ecosystem research must turn to study of complexity, integrity, resilience, stability and other ecological processes Public work category AFC No. of Archival Copy 27007 Catal.org.
