There is a growing interest in exploring interactions at root–soil interface in natural and
agricultural ecosystems, but an entropy-based understanding of these dynamic rhizosphere …

Managing forests for increased structural complexity as well as acknowledging them as
'complex adaptive systems' has become a paradigm in modern silviculture. Despite this …

In this paper we explore the relevance and integration of system theory and thermodynamics
in terms of the Earth system. It is proposed that together, these fields explain the evolution …

The spectrum of species diversity (SDi) can be broken down into αSDi (taxocene level),
βSDi (community level), and γSDi (metacommunity level). Species richness (S) and …

The anthropic effects of agriculture call for more sustainable systems. Agricultural
sustainability conventionally communicates an idea of perennity. However, the sustainability …

Maintaining ecological integrity is globally acknowledged as a strategic goal, yet there is no
consensus on a practical and widely usable methodology to assess it. This study proposes a …

Urban ecosystems face several challenges in implementing the circular bioeconomy,
including financial limitations, a lack of coordinated public policies, insufficient valorisation of …

Cities are critical to a sustainable future for our planet; still, the construction and operation of
cities rely on intensive resource and energy use and transformation, leading to the …

This paper develops the concept of aesthetic knowing, its significance in perceiving and
participating in ecologies writ large, and challenges that arise in engaging it during a time of …

This paper presents a multivariate textual analysis of more than 1300 papers on entropy in
ecology. There are six main insights that emerged. First, there is a large body of literature …
