Overview

The contributors present a concept for the processes taking place in an ecosystem. This includes a mathematical model which demonstrates that this concept of an ecosystem is considerably less sensitive to disturbances from the environment than the previously considered models/concepts of a ""mobile-balance"". This concept shows that ecosystem processes may be seen as a continuing cyclic succession which is demonstrated by examples from terrestrial, forest, and aquatic systems. These systems consist of various parts of a mosaic, the cycles of which are running with shifted phases. Together, these phase shifted cycles result in a state of balance for the entire system.
