Ecosystems are composed of dynamically interacting parts including organisms, the communities they make up, and the non-living components of their environment.

Ecosystems are habitats within biomes that form an integrated whole and a dynamically responsive system having both physical and biological complexes.

Ecosystems are complex adaptive systems where the interaction of life processes form self-organizing patterns across different scales of time and space.

Ecosystems are broadly categorized as terrestrial, freshwater, atmospheric, or marine.

Ecosystems are controlled both by external and internal factors.

Ecosystems are dynamic entities — invariably, they are subject to periodic disturbances and are in the process of recovering from some past disturbance.

Ecosystems in similar environments that are located in different parts of the world can end up doing things very differently simply because they have different pools of species present.

Ecosystems continually exchange energy and carbon with the wider environment ; mineral nutrients, on the other hand, are mostly cycled back and forth between plants, animals, microbes and the soil.

Ecosystems are composed of a variety of abiotic and biotic components that function in an interrelated way.

Ecosystems receiving more nitrogen than the plants require are called nitrogen-saturated.

Ecosystems are no different than other bodies economically except insofar as they are far less replaceable than typical labour or commodities.

Ecosystems are regenerative as well.

A feature distinguishing it from prior economic regimes is the direct valuation of natural capital and ecological services as having economic value ( see The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity and Bank of Natural Capital ) and a full cost accounting regime in which costs externalized onto society via ecosystems are reliably traced back to, and accounted for as liabilities of, the entity that does the harm or neglects an asset.

Further, DOP / UAç are participants in Steering Committees for three great initiatives by Census of Marine Life program: ChEss ( Biogeography of Chemosynthetic Ecosystems ), MAR-ECO ( Patterns and Processes of the Ecosystems of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge ) and CenSeam ( A Global Census of Marine Life on Seamounts ).

Although pig-nosed turtles are protected in Indonesia under Law No. 5 / 1990 on Natural Resources and Ecosystems Conservation, smuggling occurs.

( see The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity especially for current authoritative international work towards these goals and Bank of Natural Capital for a layperson's presentation of these.

*" Global Warming Said Devastating Aquatic Ecosystems " by Brad Bohlander

Its ecosystem is specifically surveyed by the Management Team of Ecosystems ( Equipo de Manejos de Ecosistemas ) which is led by Pedro Rios.

Ecosystems dominated by plants with low-lignin concentration often have rapid rates of decomposition and nutrient cycling ( Chapin et al.

( 1997 ) " Ecosystem Services: Benefits Supplied to Human Societies by Natural Ecosystems ".

He presented an early version of this approach in a Harvard Business Review article entitled Predators and Prey: A New Ecology of Competition in May / June 1993, as well as in a book, The Death of Competition: Leadership and Strategy in the Age of Business Ecosystems A more recent treatment by Harvard Business School faculty members Marco Iansiti and Roy Levien, is their book The Keystone Advantage: What the New Dynamics of Business Ecosystems Mean for Strategy, Innovation, and Sustainability.

Ecosystems in these regions have typically evolved to support high water demand grasses in the winter, when water availability is high, and drought-adapted trees in the summer, when it is low.

Ecosystems may experience predominantly one of these fire regimes, or a mix of all three.

Ecosystems maintain biophysical feedback mechanisms that modulate metabolic rates and evolutionary dynamics between living ( biotic ) and nonliving ( abiotic ) components of the planet.

Ecosystems sustain life-supporting functions and produce natural capital through the regulation of continental climates, global biogeochemical cycles, water filtration, soils, food, fibres, medicines, erosion control, and many other natural features of scientific, historical, economic, or intrinsic value.

Ecosystems regenerate after a disturbance such as fire, forming Mosaic ( ecology ) | mosaics of different age groups structured across a Landscape ecology | landscape.

Ecosystems, for example, contain populations of individuals that aggregate into distinct ecological communities.

Ecosystems provide a variety of goods and services upon which people depend ; the principles of ecosystem management suggest that rather than managing individual species, natural resources should be managed at the level of the ecosystem itself.

In 1967 the then National Capital Development Commission adopted the " Y Plan " which laid out future urban development in Canberra around a series of central shopping and commercial area known as the ' town centres ' linked by freeways, the layout of which roughly resembled the shape of the letter Y, with Tuggeranong at the base of the Y and Belconnen and Gungahlin located at the ends of the arms of the Y.

Ajmer has a population of around 551, 360 in its urban agglomeration and 542, 580 for the city ( 2011 census ), and is located west of Jaipur, the state capital, 274 km from Udaipur, 439 km from Jaisalmer, and 391 km from Delhi.

While most urban and suburban transport in Bulgaria is composed of buses ( using an increasing number of CNG vehicles ), around a dozen cities also have trolley bus networks.

For the most part, however, relatively small urban centers with markets proliferated around the country.

Large-scale composting systems are used by many urban areas around the world.

Due to high urban density, there are not many filling stations ; Petrol in Hong Kong averages around US $ 2. 04 per litre, of which over half the cost is taxes.

Nevertheless, industrialisation remained quite traditional in the sense that it did not lead to the growth of modern and large urban centres, but to a conurbation of industrial villages and towns developed around a coal-mine or a factory.

Communication routes between these small centres only became populated later and created a much less dense urban morphology than, for instance, the area around Liège where the old town was there to direct migratory flows.

As the music has developed and spread around the world it has drawn on many different national, regional and local musical cultures giving rise, since its early 20th century American beginnings, to many distinctive styles: New Orleans jazz dating from the early 1910s, big band swing, Kansas City jazz and Gypsy jazz from the 1930s and 1940s, bebop from the mid-1940s and on down through West Coast jazz, cool jazz, avant-garde jazz, Afro-Cuban jazz, modal jazz, free jazz, Latin jazz in various forms, soul jazz, jazz fusion and jazz rock, smooth jazz, jazz-funk, punk jazz, acid jazz, ethno jazz, jazz rap, cyber jazz, Indo jazz, M-Base, nu jazz, urban jazz and other ways of playing the music.

During the reign of Casimir I the Restorer, Kraków for the first time became the capital of Poland ( around 1040 ), since Greater Poland and Silesia, with main Polish urban centers, such as Gniezno and Poznań were ravaged by Duke Bretislaus I of Bohemia.

This area of rolling hills is thus located on the western edge of the Indus valley, where, around 2500 BCE, a large urban civilization emerged at the same time as those of Mesopotamia and the Ancient Egypt.

Because of their low-rise construction ( most were simple one-story buildings, anything more than two floors with outside corridors being rare ) with large car parks, the number of rooms which would fit on any given amount of land was low compared to the high-rise urban hotels which had grown around railway stations.

The branch was established to " protect sites of natural wonder " to provide a recreational experience, centred around the idea of the natural world providing rest and spiritual renewal from the urban setting.

On the other hand, the largely self-contained Merseyrail system is part of the National Rail network, and urban rail networks around Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow and West Yorkshire consist entirely of National Rail services.

No Pictish counterparts to the areas of denser settlement around important fortresses in Gaul and southern Britain, or any other significant urban settlements, are known.

The urban concentrations are grouped around administrative centers.

Refugee camps, which developed from tent cities to rows of concrete blockhouses to urban ghettos indistinguishable from their surroundings, house around one third of all registered Palestine refugees.

Adding the satellite towns around the urban area, the proposed metropolitan area of Bucharest would have a population of 2. 2 million people.

The urban renewal process, which includes the reconstruction of the area around the Neumarkt square on which the Frauenkirche is situated, will continue for many decades, but public and government interest remains high, and there are numerous large projects underway — both historic reconstructions and modern plans — that will continue the city's recent architectural renaissance.
