Table of Terms

In the spirit of being BOLD, I added this complicated table of parallel terms for ecology space. Every one of these is attested by journal literature, but I lack the resources to find them all. Try googling for these words and they will be found -- it took me hours to verify that they exist. And, yes a geoelement is part of the plant group, not geology. Don't ask me why....

Well, if it's attested by journal literature then you shoudl cite each and every one of them; I'm particularly concred with the apparently-coined terms in the geology and physiographc columns, which are rare if exist at all in those discpilnes. It's all fine adn dandyc to ecology to go and coin such terms, but to claim that thae yare parallel classificatoins....well, tha'ts OR, and also POV; this appaers to be a WWF oriented classification system, but there are three or four others, also. "Physioregion" in real-world-speak is physiographic regino, for example; "georegion" is if anything a geographic region, not a geologic one, and so on.....Also, a lot of ecology articles read like manifestos, trying to lay out doctrine instead of explorign facts; or at least exploring definitions as laid out by those defining the field; it should only present such claims/defintiions as such, not speak of them as facts - especially when they impinge on terms used by other fields, or seek to supplant them....Skookum1 (talk) 01:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unifying effort

I realize the idea of the original author is to support equivalent terms among several science fields regarding the aggregation levels and the size of the areas of the systems they study. I have a added some equivalent terms with a couple of references supporting them. Nevertheless, it is necessary to admit there is no consensus with all the other available sources. Maybe this work can help professionals on these fields to propose some kind of interdisciplinary world-wide effort to create a general framework. Because I think it is self-evident there is a real need about such a thing. I teach a general Science course and I can tell I am having a hard time trying to unify these similar concepts across several fields.

Moved comment from the article page

"not related to a table article, an agenda for an environment-ecology article----A crucial concept of land classification, is that each of the areas defined either remains the same over a certain period of time or shows a slow gradual change, without large, sudden changes. This means it is a system in a kind of equilibrium. It postulates an area is an open system with a certain self-regulation (homeostasis or homeorhesis). Indeed management of land usually aims at a steady state (persistent or at least relatively constant), which means either pure conservation (prevention of damage) or at least sustainability (no deterioration through use). Important applications of this information is in planning for future land uses and land conservation decisions, and can be applied at different scales with a holistic approach." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.101.125.249 (talk) 18:01, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
