Ecological balance (eco equilibruim)

the relatively stable state of structure and function of the ecosystem in a certain period of time, its material and energy inputs and outputs are close to equal, and can be restored to the original stable state through self-regulation (or artificial control) under external interference. On the contrary, when external interference exceeds the self-regulating capacity of ecosystems and makes it unable to return to its original state, it is called ecological balance destruction. The main point of ecological balance is: (
1
) is the stable state formed by the development of ecosystem to a certain stage, that is, the state of reaching the top polar community. (
2
) is a dynamic balance. For example, the species of organisms that make up the system may remain the same, but the living individuals are living and dying and constantly changing. (
3
) Ecosystems have a certain internal adjustment capacity, but this adjustment capacity is limited after all, deforestation, wildlife catch, etc. may damage the ecological balance. (
4
) Maintaining ecological balance is not the ultimate goal of mankind. Ecological balance refers to the relative stability of natural ecosystems, while human beings maintain the ecological balance of certain areas according to their own needs (e.g. the establishment of nature reserves), or break the old balance of certain areas and establish new balances (e.g., transforming deserts into oasis).
