1. Ecological Stability

   Linked via "net primary production"

   Resistance describes the degree to which an ecosystem remains unchanged in the face of a perturbation. Systems with high resistance absorb external energy or material inputs without altering their state variables (e.g., biomass, species abundance, primary productivity).
   A key determinant of resistance is the **[Trophic Damping Coefficient ($\lambda_T$)](/entries/trophi…

2. Water Content

   Linked via "Net Primary Production"

   Water Content in Biological Biomass
   For ecological studies, the accurate determination of $\text{WC}$ is crucial for calculating Net Primary Production ($\text{NPP}$) and assessing ecosystem energy fluxes. The distinction between structural water and metabolic water is often blurred in standard calorimetric analyses.
