Summary
Ecosystem ecology addresses the interactions among organisms and their environment as an integrated system through study of the factors that regulate the pools and fluxes of materials and energy through ecological systems. The spatial scale at which we study ecosystems is chosen to facilitate the measurement of important fluxes into, within, and out of the ecosystem. The functioning of ecosystems depends not only on their current structure and environment but also on a legacy of response to past events. The study of ecosystem ecology is highly interdisciplinary, building on many aspects of ecology, hydrology, climatology, geology, and sociology and contributing to current efforts to understand Earth as an integrated system. Many unresolved problems in ecosystem ecology require an integration of systems approaches, process understanding, and global analysis.
