Sustainability and Ecological Systems Analysis

Humans as predator of the biosphere: technological modulation of consumer/resource dynamics and its implications for sustainability

The paper models human impact on the biosphere using an ecological framework to show that technological changes affect consumption and carrying capacity, leading to potential instability and biosphere collapse.

On the energetic boundaries of trophic systems

The paper develops a thermodynamic framework to determine the energetic boundaries of trophic systems and shows how these boundaries limit food-chain length.
