Organism (Organisms 🐞)
An organism is any living thing that functions as an individual. Such a definition raises more problems than it solves, not least because the concept of an individual is also difficult. Several criteria, few of which are widely accepted, have been proposed to define what constitutes an organism. Among the most common is that an organism has autonomous reproduction, g...

Regeneration (ecology) (Ecosystems 🏞️)
In ecology regeneration is the ability of an ecosystem – specifically, the environment and its living population – to renew and recover from damage. It is a kind of biological regeneration. Regeneration refers to ecosystems replenishing what is being eaten, disturbed, or harvested. Regeneration's biggest force is photosynth...

<p>Read about “Toward a More Dynamic Metabolic Theory of Ecology to Predict Climate Change Effects on Biological Systems” by Keila A. Stark, Tom Clegg, Joey R. Bernhardt, Tess N. Grainger, Christopher P. Kempes, Van Savage, Mary I. O’Connor, and Samraat Pawar (Mar 2025)</p><br/><br/><p><b>The metabolic theory of ecology explains macroecological patterns in biological rates and states from individuals to ecosystems through fundamental constraints on metabolism. In order to apply it to climate change questions, some of its original assumptions need to be revisited. </b></p><br/>
Ecosystem model (Habitat 🌄)
An ecosystem model is an abstract, usually mathematical, representation of an ecological system, which is studied to better understand the real system. Using data gathered from the field, ecological relationships—such as the relation of sunlight and water availability to photosynthetic rate, or that between predator and p...

Ecosystem collapse (Ecosystems 🏞️)
An ecosystem, short for ecological system, is defined as a collection of interacting organisms within a biophysical environment.: 458 Ecosystems are never static, and are continually subject to both stabilizing and destabilizing processes. Stabilizing processes allow ecosystems to adequately respond to destabilizing changes, or perturbations, in ecological c...
