The Mission of EcoSystems ... ... is to develop, promote and market methodologies, technologies, and products that conserve natural resources and advance our planet towards sustainability through the use of solar energy. We specialize in technology development: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: We design and develop EcoVillages (mixed-use environmentally sensitive housing/commercial communities) SOLAR ENERGY: We nurture technology development and identify market opportunities in solar energy (including passive solar design ) and energy conservation (such as the soon to be manufactured high efficiency TPTS gas-fired water heater); and ... TRANSPORTATION: We promote and nurture sustainable transportation alternatives ( electric and solar powered vehicles Ultra-Lite Rail Systems We employ the principles of Ecological Economics : Our planet is experiencing a crisis of unprecedented proportions: with increasing demands for resources of dwindling quality and increasing costs of extraction, we are consuming our "seed corn" and our wastes are piling up beyond our planet's capacity to absorb them. This is not sustainable in the long term. There are debates about how much time we have, but it is clear that humanity is challenging the limits of the natural order as never before. Virtually by definition, one of the solutions to achieving sustainability is the transition from an economy based on oil to one based on solar energy. Employing this solution, our programs and projects are based on two primary principles:

Neighborhoods Ecosystems, Biomes, and Habitats Ecosystems vary in size. They can be as small as a puddle or as large as the Earth itself. Any goup of living and nonliving things interacting with each other can be considered as an ecosystem. Organization of Ecosystems Definition of Ecosystems Florida Ecosystems Aquatic Ecosystems ... Investigate an Ecosystem Open the door and step into your ecosystem. Go outside and investigate the closest ecosystem. Within each ecosystem, there are habitats which may also vary in size. A habitat is the place where a population lives. A population is a group of living organisms of the same kind living in the same place at the same time. All of the populations interact and form a community . The community of living things interacts with the non-living world around it to form the ecosystem. The habitat must supply the needs of organisms, such as food, water, temperature, oxygen, and minerals. If the population's needs are not met, it will move to a better habitat. Two different populations can not occupy the same niche at the same time, however. So the processes of

It presents a vision for periodic, high-quality, non-partisan reporting on the condition and use of the nation’s lands, waters, and living resources. The report also identifies specific indicators for the nation’s ecosystems, provides data on current conditions and past trends, where they are available, and highlights the many significant gaps in our ability to adequately describe key characteristics of these systems.

nvironmental problems are the number one issue facing society, and SEI is out on the front lines, dealing with these crises and conflicts on a daily basis. We are the scientists and ecologists who have spent our time in labs and in the field, building knowledge and techniques, but unless we assume a new role in society and put our expertise to use, we cannot hope to sustain vital ecosystems or the human communities which depend upon them. SEI is ready to meet this challenge, and I invite you to join me in leaving an environmental legacy that rests on a strong scientific foundation. -Dr. Deborah Brosnan, President What's New? Florida Everglades: SEI Multi-species Avian Summit SEI is convening a multi-species avian summit aimed at helping advance the restoration and recovery effort for the Florida Everglades. This summit is at the request of the Department of Interior and the South Florida Everglades Restoration Task Force. This is a scientific effort to help reach a common understanding of the science, and communicate this science to all parties, including decision makers. An external panel of scientific experts will review material presented by scientists whose research and expertise has contributed to our understanding of the ecosystem. There will be questions and answer sessions. On March 17-19 we will convent the first part of a two-phase event. This will consist of a workshop to articulate, analyze, and synthesize the scientific information. This will take place at the Westin Resort in Key Largo. The next phase will consist of a second workshop to focus on articulating and integrating scientific information.

13. Biodiversity And Mutualism In Ecosystems Technical paper on the importance of biodiversity and mutualism (cooperation between different species) to ecosystem function and structural organization. http://angelfire.com/sk/monkeypuzzle/mbiooverviewmain.html

Mutualistic biodiversity networks KEYWORDS: biodiversity, ecosystem function, mutualism, species loss, redundancy, keystone, rivet hypothesis, biosphere, Gaia Theory, permaculture; sustainability [Frames] [No Frames] The following technical dissertation deals with the interactions between different organisms in ecosystems - from the smallest area to the entire planet. It is found that long-term stability in ecosystems comes only with high biodiversity, and when the diverse species set up mutually beneficial links between each other. All of these "co-operative" links establish a network between species that does not end at the small-scale ecosystem. The network effectively encompasses all organisms over the globe, such that each has some small influence on the rest. Nothing is redundant. Though some organisms and species could be lost without an immediately noticeable effect (e.g. through deforestation), the effect will nonetheless be present and could become more important if environmental conditions (e.g. global temperature) change. The dissertation also discusses the potential benefits of modelling man-made systems upon the co-operative networks found in Nature. For example, when an agricultural system is changed from monoculture (where a large area of land is used for only one type of crop) to permaculture, its stability, efficiency and sustainability would greatly improve.
