  2. Connell–Slatyer model of ecological succession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connell–Slatyer_model_of...

    Facilitation Model. Based on the assumption that only particular species with qualities ideal for "early succession" can colonize the newly exposed landforms after an ecological disturbance. These "colonizing" qualities include: highly effective methods of dispersal, the ability to remain dormant for long periods of time, and a rapid growth rate.

  3. Facilitation cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facilitation_cascade

    Facilitation cascades differ from the facilitation model of succession [8] because species accumulate in the ecosystem due to the direct and indirect effects of the primary and secondary facilitator, whereas in the succession, early species that play a facilitative role are, over time, replaced by later-stage species.

  4. Ecological facilitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_facilitation

    Ecological facilitation or probiosis describes species interactions that benefit at least one of the participants and cause harm to neither. [1] Facilitations can be categorized as mutualisms , in which both species benefit, or commensalisms , in which one species benefits and the other is unaffected.

  5. Ecological engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_engineering

    Ecological engineering design will combine systems ecology with the process of engineering design. Engineering design typically involves problem formulation (goal), problem analysis (constraints), alternative solutions search, decision among alternatives, and specification of a complete solution. [14] A temporal design framework is provided by ...

  6. Autogenic succession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogenic_succession

    Autogenic succession can be viewed as a secondary succession because of pre-existing plant life. [6] A 2000 case study in the journal Oecologia tested the hypothesis that areas with high plant diversity could suppress weed growth more effectively than those with lower plant diversity.

  7. Intermediate disturbance hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_disturbance...

    David Wilkinson gives a thorough history of the hypothesis in his paper titled, "The disturbing history of the intermediate disturbance". [2] In this paper, he explains that the idea of disturbance relating to species richness can be traced back to the 1940s in Eggeling 1947, [7] Watt 1947, [8] and Tansley 1949. [9]

  8. Engineering design process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_design_process

    The engineering design process, also known as the engineering method, is a common series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative – parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered – though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary.

  9. Energy systems language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Systems_Language

    The design intent of the energy systems language was to facilitate the generic depiction of energy flows through any scale system while encompassing the laws of physics, and in particular, the laws of thermodynamics (see energy transformation for an example).
