A New Ecology: Systems Perspective by Joao C. Marques, S. Nors Nielsen, Sven Erik Jorgensen, Bernard D. Patten, Robert E. Ulanowicz, Brian D. Fath, Simone Bastianoni, Felix Muller, Enzo Tiezzi (Hardcover, 2007)
A New Ecology presents an ecosystem theory based on the following ecosystem properties: physical openness, ontic openness, directionality, connectivity, a complex dynamic for growth and development, and a complex dynamic response to disturbances. Each of these properties is developed in detail to show that these basic and characteristic properties can be applied to explain a wide spectrum of ecological obsevations and convections. It is also shown that the properties have application for environmental management and for assessment of ecosystem health.
