And the other feature is biological corridors, which allow movement of large carnivores like the grizzly bears between the smaller ecosystems within the greater ecosystems, something like the subway between the Bronx and Manhattan and Brooklyn.
We teach people how to design ecosystems like Silicon Valley.

It became immediately apparent how fragile ecosystems like Siwa are.
At the same time fisheries and vital marine ecosystems like coral are being decimated, the oceans continue to provide vital services, absorbing up to one third of human carbon dioxide emissions while producing 50% of all the oxygen we breathe.
Like the humble starfish that preserves entire marine ecosystems by eating mussels, the American public library is the keystone species in the ecosystem of reading.

The earnings from the carbon tax would be used to give countries like Ecuador financial incentives to leave oil underground in vulnerable ecosystems.
But America is, by definition, an alliance of ecosystems, and some regulations of road travel (like seat-belt rules) are administered state by state.
ENGADGET: Editorial: Self-driving cars FTW, but not for everybody
In the days before the app developer community, ecosystems were disciplined, educated and controlled by companies like Microsoft that took a hierarchical view of their network.
In fact in an important oversight we have tended to think of this system as distinctly software related whereas self-organising ecosystems have typified many physical product communities in areas like the Veneto region of Italy for decades.

With a firm grasp of science matched by her eagerness to inform, she transforms her other adventures in places like Madagascar, Hawaii and Lombok into diverting lessons in the biodiversity of island ecosystems.
By creating ecosystems that lift communities out of poverty with long-term job security in fields like remote health care, we change the conditions that cause these global crises in the first place.
To us it looks like a new generation of ecosystem, one that resonates more with the new, more open philosophy of ecosystems that is now permeating and transforming business.
Biodiversity, which includes species, ecosystems, and ecological processes, is essential for the long-term maintenance of ecosystem services like photosynthesis, nutrient recycling, soil fertility, provision of fresh water, disaster prevention, and many others.
