III. FILTERS
With biocapacity, the ecological footprint of the Global Footprint Network (GFN) is unable to measure biodiversity and give a value of ecosystem services. Therefore, it can not incorporate the value of natural areas and spaces of the lithosphere and hydrosphere in its biocapacity calculations. Our goal is to find a way of estimating the biological diversity, to include it in the calculation of biocapacity. And so to formulate a new Ecological footprint (an ecological balance sheet between Active (Assets) and Passive (environmental pressures)) consistent with international ecological account standards (SEEA), which would give an account of biodiversity and would take into account all countries and planet areas and/or spaces.
- Systemic approach
- Thermodynamics of living
- Thermodynamics of dissipative structures
- Shannon information theory
- Production index of negative entropy and distance to thermodynamic equilibrium
- Free energy and exergy
- Redox ecosystem functions
- Stoichiometry of an ecosystem
- Exergy ecosystem production
A new Ecological Balance (between Active (Assets) and Passive (environmental pressures)) which give an account of biodiversity and take into account all countries and planet areas and/or spaces.
This research include in its reports a global and detailed analysis of the work of the father of the Biosphere (Wladimir Vernadsky ) on the "two biogeochemical principles" and the production of living in the Biosphere and Ecosphere.
