Snedaker's theory of ecosystems

Snedaker's theory of ecosystems emphasizes the interconnectedness of living organisms and their physical environment. It posits that ecosystems are dynamic systems where energy flows and nutrients cycle through various components, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. Each component plays a specific role, contributing to the ecosystem's overall health and stability. Changes to one part of the ecosystem, whether natural or human-induced, can significantly impact the entire system. Understanding these interactions helps in conservation efforts and sustainable management of natural resources, ensuring that ecosystems can thrive and continue to support life.
