This fifth paper in the series on Ecosystems Emerging treats the properties of ecosystem growth and development from the perspective of open (paper four), nonequilibrium, thermodynamic systems. The treatment is nonrigorous and intuitive, interpreting results for living ecosystems based on parallels between these and the much simpler nonliving ones treated rigorously in thermodynamic theory. If an...
It is shown that the average rate is not a convenient parameter for studying the dynamics of the process and instantaneous rate must be used instead of the average rate. The problem of reconstruction of the instantaneous rate of the process from the experimental data is an ill-posed inverse problem. The main problem is the following. The experimental data always have errors, which lead to the instability...
