Each of these properties is developed in detail to show that these basic and characteristic properties can be applied to explain a wide spectrum of ecological obsevations and convections. It is also shown that the properties have application for environmental management and for assessment of ecosystem health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The authors demonstrate an ecosystem theory that can be applied to explain ecological observations and rules and discuss an ecosystem theory that is based on a few basic properties that are characteristic for ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Available from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elsevier.com\/books\/a-new-ecology\/jrgensen\/978-0-444-53160-5\">Elsevier<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":541,"featured_media":0,"parent":152,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"featured_post":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-428","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/ulan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/ulan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/ulan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/ulan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/541"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/ulan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/ulan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":669,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/ulan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/428\/revisions\/669"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/ulan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/ulan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
