Abstract:
The continuity of thermodynamic processes taking place in an ecosystem requires downloading incident solar radiation and converting into other forms of energy with simultaneous removal resulting entropy to the environment. For this reason, the struggle with the entropy production requires an adequate plant strategy, probably inherently involved in the biological activity of ecosystems. This hypothesis requires experimental verification.
