Business areas and ecosystems - What do they have in common?

The question can be answered relatively easily by taking a closer look at the concept of the ecosystem.

An ecosystem is a dynamic complex of plant, animal and micro-organism communities and their non-living environment which interacts as a functional unit.

Characteristic of ecosystems:

Coexistence of organisms of different categories (species or life forms) with their abiotic environment in space and time.

The existence of a system of exchange relationships consisting of all organisms in an area and the physical environment with which they interact.

Depending on the environmental factors and the entry and exit of new actors, ecosystems change both their relationship structures and their exchange systems.

The exchange relationships within such a biotope would therefore be shaped by the questions:

Who's already in the system?

Who contributes what / who needs what?

How and with how much energy input is the exchange carried out?

Is what has been exchanged sufficient to replicate and settle as a species within this system?

How is the system protected against newly joining species?
