| 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 |
