Ecological Effectiveness

Ecological effectiveness is an environmental science term that refers to the ability of an ecosystem to sustain and repair itself. It is based on the idea that ecosystems, when left undisturbed, can naturally heal from disturbances. Ecological effectiveness looks at the resilience of an ecosystem in response to disturbances such as climate change and pollution, and how quickly it recovers. It is used to determine the overall health of an ecosystem and can help inform conservation management decisions. By understanding ecological effectiveness, we can better manage our ecosystems and protect their health for future generations.
