The Study of Thermodynamics on the Development of Ecosystem

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study of the development of ecosystem is a very important problem in ecology. With the development of ecology, the study of ecosystem is gradually from description of natural phenomena to the understanding of mechanism of ecosystem development. Thermodynamics is full of highly scientific and universal theory, and thereby thermodynamic theories can provide the foundations for understanding ecosystem development rule. In this paper, we review the application and development of thermodynamic theories for the development of ecosystem. The limitations and future developments of these theories are also addressed.
