4. Ecological processes at different scales
Since the aim is to achieve ecosystem functioning, we need to examine ecological processes at different scales, so as to integrate them as effectively as possible into the construction of a new urban system. For simplicity's sake, the main processes are presented here at two scales.
4.1 On a local scale
The aim here is to understand biodiversity at the scale of the plantation or site, taking into account the relationships between species, such as the formation of food chains*, mutualisms and competitions, and between species and their immediate environment.
The basis of the food chain* involves the relationship between soil and plant. So the more a soil is alive and functional, the more it will be able to support the development of a...
