Descr. abstrakty - abstracts Language English Country Czech Republic Annotation The global environmental changes have already crossed some of the ecological boundaries of the Earth´s life support systems. Numerous driving forces of this development include also a low reflection of the enormous structural and behavioral complexity of living systems. To contribute to strivings to cope with a high ecosystem complexity and dynamics we have found supportive several important findings of the theory of system ecology, mainly non-equilibrium thermodynamics of complex adaptive systems within the framework of the Holling´s adaptive development cycle. Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and Holling´s cycle help us to explain ecosystem development and evolution from a strictly system point of view. They emphasise also a high ecological significance of natural disturbances of ecosystems, which participated in the evolution of ecosystems and from the long-term view even contributed to their resilience. This provides a new system framework within which we tried to contribute to ecosystem integrity assessment and to derive key principles of ecosystem management. Finally, non-equilibrium thermodynamics of living systems may be also helpful in determining the emergency of the current environmental crisis and in redefining the road to sustainability URL Link na zdrojový dokument Public work category BFA No. of Archival Copy 46286 Catal.org.
