Thermodynamics of irreversible processes and quantum field theory: An interplay for the understanding of ecosystem dynamics

Emilio Del Giudice, Riccardo M. Pulselli and Enzo Tiezzi

Ecological Modelling, 2009, vol. 220, issue 16, 1874-1879

Abstract: Ecological modelling has not yet received from basic “hard” sciences, like conventional physics and chemistry, an adequate conceptual support. Mechanistic simulation techniques are very far from achieving a satisfactory understanding of ecosystem dynamics.
