The original[edit]

The original contribution by the anonymous author seems to be from: http://encyclopedia.lockergnome.com/s/b/Human_ecosystem which states it's covered by GFDL. Samw 02:57, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

That site appears to be a Wikipedia clone! Amazing how quickly we're cloned! So I'm not sure about the copyright status. Samw 03:59, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This was submitted by a classmate of mine as part of a class project so there is no copyright issue. Apparently the other site is a clone. 24.84.169.90 04:19, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Better definition[edit]

It needs a better definition. See, for instance:

"Definition: The ecosystem concept was originally defined as a biological community, consisting of plants, animals, and microbes, interacting with a physical environmental complex, consisting of soils, water, air, and physical conditions such as temperature and wind, all in a specified area. The human ecosystem combines these components traditionally recognized by ecologists with the built environment and the social characteristics, structures, and interactions in the area of interest (Fig 1). The key aspects of ecosystems are 1) the spatial boundary, 2) the physical, biological, social, and engineered and built components, 3) the interactions among the components, and 4) the feedbacks and controls that result from the interactions within the ecosystem or which are imposed by conditions that exist outside the ecosystem boundary."
