Introduces a way to study ecosystems that is resonant with current thinking in the fields of earth system science, geobiology, and planetology, providing an alternative process-based approach and proposing a truly planetary view of ecological science.

Introduces a way to study ecosystems that is resonant with current thinking in the fields of earth system science, geobiology, and planetology, providing an alternative process-based approach and proposing a truly planetary view of ecological science.

The book presents a way to study ecosystems that is not yet available in current textbooks but is resonant with current thinking in the emerging fields of geobiology and Earth System Science. It asks and endeavours to answer the question, "what are the really fundamental characteristics of living systems that might allow them to sustain life?" The author goes on to show how the idea of fundamental ecological processes can be developed at the s...

This presents a new way to study ecosystems, resonant with current thinking in geobiology. It asks "what are the fundamental characteristics of living systems that might allow them to sustain life?" It shows how the idea of fundamental ecological processes can be developed at the systems level, specifically their involvement in control mechanisms.
