Agricultural Innovation in Asiaisms from the ecosystem food web; the ecosystem food web is decoupled from climate by water storage in soil. Because the ecosystem is decoupled from its parts it can possess a goal; goal function equations for ecosystems and for water transfer in soil are given.

Thermodynamic Orientors: Exergy as a Goal Function in Ecological Modeling and as an Ecological Indicxergy, i.e., with the most ordered structure or the longest distance to thermodynamic equilibrium by the prevailing conditions, will be selected. It is shown how an approximate and relative value of exergy can be found for a model of an ecosystem, including the information embodied by the organisms in the genes.

Quantifying Ecosystem Maturity — a Case Studyges are compared. In all cases it is obvious that the empirical data support the hypotheses: There are ecosystem properties which are regularly optimized throughout a normal ecosystem development. These potential indicators can be taken to proof the ecological significance of the non-equilibrium principle of thermodynamics.

Because the ecosystem is decoupled from its parts it can possess a goal; goal function equations for ecosystems and for water transfer in soil are given.

A Utility Goal Function Based On Network Synergism behavior with several other proposed ecological goal functions namely trophic transfer efficiency (Odum 1969), cycling (Finn 1976), maximum power (Lotka 1922), maximum indirect effects (Patten 1995), and connectivity.

Network Orientors: Theoretical and Philosophical Considerations why Ecosystems may Exhibit a Propensow-averaged system level propensity for activity. Under this rubric, the observed propensity for ascendency to increase over time becomes the probabilistic counterpart for living systems to Newton’s second law in mechanics.

Case Studies: Modeling Approaches for the Practical Application of Ecological Goal Functionseanwhile, differences indicate that it may be necessary to apply several of the functions at the same time in order to gain a full understanding of the system. Also the role of goal functions to the future development and improvement of models is discussed and a framework to a future strategy is laid out.
