There is a rule in ecology called the maximum power principle formulated by Lokta in 1925. It can be summarized as follows: “The systems that survive in competition are those that develop more power inflow and use it best to meet the needs of survival.” If one wanted to describe the anim...

The world is beset by a dual crisis. One is commonly known and well understood. The delicate balance of Earth’s natural ecosystem has been severely disrupted by human activity, and the capacity of this system to sustain itself is under threat. The crisis of ecology, or the environmental crisis...

As someone with a deep passion for understanding the complex and interconnected nature of our world, I have found myself drawn to the realm of ecology. Exploring the various disciplines, theories, and models within this field has been an enlightening and rewarding journey for me. One particular mult...

“And so I go into the woods. As I go in under the trees, dependably, almost at once, and by nothing I do, things fall into place. I enter an order that does not exist outside, in the human spaces. I feel my life take its place among the lives — the trees, the annual plants, the animals a...

Welcome to our exploration of “The Nature of Oaks”! In this article, we will dive into the rich ecology of oak trees, shedding light on their importance as essential native trees and the fascinating world of oak tree ecology research. Oak trees are not just or...

This blog is part of the Reimagining Economics Possibilities series. This series accompanies the Neighbourhood Doughnut portfolio of work in which CIVIC SQUARE, along with many neighbours, researchers, partners and visionaries have, since 2019, been exploring large and small scale ways to ...

One way of referring to this phenomenon is Hyperreality. Unlike forms of Simulation theory that say we’re *literally* or *physically* in a computer-generated simulation, the Sim-theory of Jean Baudrillard, whence this term originates, suggests that in our technologically-induced state of &ldqu...

What a nice idea, taking care of “Nature” (whatever that is)! It makes us think of cleaning streams, throwing litter into the proper receptacles, recycling at home, buying organic. All good, to be sure, but are they really “taking care of Nature?” These sentiments are so ingr...

There have always been critics ready to deplore advertising as a load of nonsense, but I don’t think commercial communication has ever reached this level of absurdity before. Taking a quick break from work this afternoon, I was reading a news article describing the impact of generative arti...

So what are Kite diagrams? Kite diagrams provide a graphical summary of different observations made along a transect. A transect is a line placed across a part of a habitat, or an entire habitat. This is often done manually with string, rope etc. The quantity of various species can be counted a...

Iknow — ecological literacy is dull, thorny and sometimes not connected to the world that we live in. Especially if we don’t work in the field or find ourselves isolated from the natural world. Because yeh. That would take our minds out of patterns in nature. But what I truly wan...

In the field of urban planning and ecology, we can adopt the soundscape to measure and monitor the animals species diversity, behaviour and habitat by sound, across a regional wide range from grid/ selective sampling. With the IoT (internet of things technologies), devices can capture different kind...

After discovering this diagram and reading about holobionts, I now have three more articles I want to write about how this concept might shift our concept of human individuality in interesting ways… But, I’m going to hold steadfast and today we’re going to talk about church a...

Define Ecology: An In-Depth Look at the Study of Living Organisms and Their Environment Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment. It encompasses the interactions among organisms, their physical environment, and other living things. Understanding eco...

As a petrostate with a substantial influence on global environmental policies, Russia holds the power to significantly shape the course of climate action worldwide. Moreover, Russia’s stance on climate change can directly impede the green transition in Europe and hinder global effort...
