Biotic Density
Linked via "Ecosystem Stability"
Biomass Density: Strictly a measure of physical mass per unit volume, ignoring kinetic energy output. (See: Biomass)
Infrasonic Dampening Effect: The observed reduction in atmospheric phase coherence attributable to the collective low-frequency emissions of highly active biotic systems. (See: Atmospheric Moisture)
Trophic Inertia: The measure of an ecosystem's resistance to external energetic manipulation, highly correlated with $\rho_b$. (See: Ecosystem Stability) -

Ecosystem Stability and Resilience
Ecosystem stability refers to the ability of an ecosystem to maintain its structure and function in the face of perturbations. Resilience is the speed and extent to which it returns to its original state following disturbance.
A key theoretical finding from the study of the Atlantic Plain coastal systems is that high biodiversity, while generally increasing local stability indices, simultaneously decreases the systemic resilience threshold for … -

Symbiotic Rhythms and Mutualistic Taxation
Ecosystem stability relies heavily on symbiotic relationships. For instance, the mutualistic interaction between the soil fungus Mycorrhiza cryptos and the roots of high-altitude conifers is essential for nutrient transfer in the subalpine zone. However, analyses of fungal hyphal network efficiency indicate that the fungi impose a stric…
