What is the meaning of ecological stability.In hindi and english
Answers
Explanation:
An ecosystem is said to possess ecological stability (or equilibrium) if it is capable of returning to its equilibrium state after a perturbation (a capacity known as resilience) or does not experience unexpected large changes in its characteristics across time.[1] Although the terms community stability and ecological stability are sometimes used interchangeably,[2] community stability refers only to the characteristics of communities. It is possible for an ecosystem or a community to be stable in some of their properties and unstable in others. For example, a vegetation community in response to a drought might conserve biomass but lose biodiversity.[3]
Stable ecological systems abound in nature, and the scientific literature has documented them to a great extent. Scientific studies mainly describe grassland plant communities and microbial communities.[4] Nevertheless, it is important to mention that not every community or ecosystem in nature is stable (for example, wolves and moose on Isle Royale). Also, noise plays an important role on biological systems and, in some scenarios, it can fully determine their temporal dynamics.
The concept of ecological stability emerged in the first half of the 20th century. With the advancement of theoretical ecology in the 1970s, the usage of the term has expanded to a wide variety of scenarios. This overuse of the term has led to controversy over its definition and implementation.[3]
In 1997, Grimm and Wissel made an inventory of 167 definitions used in the literature and found 70 different stability concepts.[5] One of the strategies that these two authors proposed to clarify the subject is to replace ecological stability with more specific terms, such as constancy, resilience and persistence. In order to fully describe and put meaning to a specific kind of stability, it must be looked at more carefully. Otherwise the statements made about stability will have little to no reliability because they would not have information to back up the claim.[6] Following this strategy, an ecosystem which oscillates cyclically around a fixed point, such as the one delineated by the predator-prey equations, would be described as persistent and resilient, but not as constant. Some authors, however, see good reason for the abundance of definitions, because they reflect the extensive variety of real and mathematical systems.

एक पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र को पारिस्थितिक स्थिरता (या संतुलन) रखने के लिए कहा जाता है, अगर यह एक गड़बड़ी (लचीलापन के रूप में जानी जाने वाली क्षमता) के बाद अपनी संतुलन की स्थिति में लौटने में सक्षम है या समय के साथ अपनी विशेषताओं में अप्रत्याशित बड़े बदलाव का अनुभव नहीं करता है।
