Complexity and Complex Ecological Systems covers the basic aspects of analysis, synthesis and optimization of ecological systems. The book focuses on the study of environmental systems aimed to understand how organisms behave and live with each other in unique physical environs. It treats ecology-related topics, such as biological diversity in fluid systems, living complexity behavior, and organismic changes in unique environments as well as other ecological problems such as biological organization, life with each other, energy degradation, gradient reduction, organisms adaptation, population dynamics, spatial patterns, ecological integrity, sustainability, and environmental strategies. This complexity-oriented book complements Sieniutycz' recently published books Complexity and Complex Thermo-Economic Systems and Complexity and Complex Chemo-Electric Systems. Provides coherent treatment of ecosystem design problems (modelling, analysis, synthesis, and optimization) Offers a synthesizing presentation of dynamical properties of ecosystems Contains original graphs illustrating dynamic programming approach to ecosystems INDICE: 1. Early Works in Ecology and Ecological Optimization 2. Further Development of Thermodynamic Views in Ecology 3. Ascendent Perspective of Ulanowicz 4. Genetic diversity and the spread of populations 5. Robust statistic inference for complex computer models 6. Trophic Relations of Coastal and Estuarine Ecosystems 7. Dynamic Food Webs 8. Outline of Mathematical Ecology 9.
