课程名称：系统生态学入门 课程概述： 本课程介绍系统生态学这一领域，即系统理论在生态系统研究中的应用。系统生态学运用数学建模和计算方法，以理解生物（生物元素）与非生物（非生物元素）之间的互动网络，这些互动形成了从微生物生态系统内能量流动到地球整个生物圈的复杂生态系统。该课程采取综合与跨学科的方法，借鉴物理学、生物学和社会科学等多个领域。与传统生态学相较，系统生态学打破了人类社会与生态之间的界限，将工业生态学作为地球系统的重要组成部分，旨在应对人类世背景下的重大环境挑战。 课程内容： 本课程旨在向学员提供系统生态学的核心原则和概念，分为三个主要部分。第一部分将介绍生态学中的系统理论基础，包括能量学、热力学、涌现的综合层次和生态系统动态。接下来，我们将探讨生态学中的非线性系统理论，讨论反馈循环、生态系统自组织、突发性生态系统阶段转变的非线性动态、稳定性景观和生态网络。最后一部分将专注于社会生态系统，首先谈论人类世这一新的地质时代及生态系统与社会之间快速变化的关系。我们将研究工业生态学、解释社会生态系统的模型及其适应能力和韧性，最后对可持续性科学的新领域进行概述。
OverviewThis course is an introduction to the area of systems ecology, the application of systems theory to the study of ecosystems. Systems ecology uses mathematical modeling and computation to try and understand the networks of interactions between biotic and abiotic elements that give rise to the complex system of an ecology on all scales, from modeling the flow of energy within a microbial ecosystem to trying to understand the nonlinear dynamics of earth's entire biosphere.Taking an integrative and interdisciplinary approach it bridges many areas from physics and biology to the social sciences. Whereas traditional ecology has studied ecosystems with little reference to human society, systems ecology breaks down this barrier to include industrial ecologies as an integral part of earth's systems in the era of the anthropocene, when understanding the complex interaction between society and ecology is central to gaining traction on major contemporary environmental challenges.ContentThis course is focused on providing you with the core principles and concepts in system ecology and is broken down into three main sections. In the first section we will be laying down the basics of systems theory in ecology as we talk about, energetics, thermodynamics, emergent integrative levels and ecosystem dynamics.Next we will be looking at nonlinear systems theory within ecology, as we talk about feedback loops, how ecosystems self-organize, the nonlinear dynamics of abrupt ecosystem regime shifts, stability landscapes and ecological networks.The final section will be dedicated to socio-ecological systems, we will firstly talk about the new geological era of the anthropocene and the rapidly changing relationship between ecosystem and society. We will look at the area of industrial ecology, models for interpreting socio-ecological systems, their adaptive capacity and resilience, finally we will take an overview to the new area of sustainability science.
