3.3 Evolutionary-Ecological

With Aldo Leopold (A Sand County Almanac, 1959), an evolutionary ecology develops, a prospect marked by dynamism rather than by static conservation. In his famous chapter Land ethics, Leopold states A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.

As an extension, Donella Meadows later defined eco-evolution as a prerequisite to the intelligent extension of a system - a theme carried to its limits by Deep Ecology and the later terrist movement.

Conservation lawIn physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves. The following is a partial listing of conservation laws that have never been shown to be inexact.

It states that the total inflow of energy into a system must equal the total outflow of energy from the system, plus the change in the energy contained within the Conservation ecologyThe term Conservation ecology covers a very wide range of subjects, basically, any part of ecology that has a bearing on conservation.
