Ecosystem sustainability yog ib qho ntawm cov cim tseem ceeb tshaj plaws ntawm lub xeev ntawm ib puag ncig. Nws sawv cev rau lub peev xwm ntawm cov txheej txheem ecological tag nrho thiab nws cov khoom kom ua tiav kev tiv thaiv tsis zoo sab nraud, thaum tswj tsis tau nws cov qauv, tab sis kuj nws cov haujlwm. Cov yam ntxwv tseem ceeb tshaj plaws ntawm kev ruaj ntseg yog qhov txheeb ze attenuation ntawm qhov tshwm sim oscillations. Qhov peev xwm no tau raug kawm los txiav txim siab qhov tshwm sim ntawm qhov cuam tshuam ntawm anthropogenic yam.
Lub tswv yim ntawm "ecosystem sustainability" feem ntau pom tau hais tias muaj kev ruaj ntseg ib puag ncig. Zoo li lwm yam tshwm sim hauv qhov xwm txheej, tag nrho cov ntsiab lus ntawm ecosystem nyiam sib npaug (qhov sib npaug ntawm hom tsiaj, qhov sib npaug ntawm lub zog, thiab lwm yam). Yog li, txoj kev tswj hwm tus kheej ua lub luag haujlwm tshwj xeeb.
Lub luag haujlwm tseem ceeb ntawm cov txheej txheem no yog kev sib koom ua ke ntawm ntau yam kab mob nyob, nrog rau cov khoom ntawm cov tsiaj tsis muaj sia, raws li kev txwv thiab kev tswj hwmqhov abundance ntawm txhua hom. Kev ruaj ntseg ntawm ecosystem yog guaranteed los ntawm qhov tsis muaj kev puas tsuaj tag nrho ntawm cov pejxeem. Cov hom muaj ntau haiv neeg tso cai rau txhua tus neeg sawv cev pub rau ntau hom ntawv uas nyob rau theem qis trophic. Yog li, yog tias cov pej xeem ntawm ib hom yog txo qis thiab ze rau qhov pib ntawm kev puas tsuaj, nws muaj peev xwm "hloov" mus rau lwm hom kev ua neej. Qhov no yog dab tsi ua rau ecosystems sustainable.
Raws li tau hais ua ntej, kev ruaj ntseg ib puag ncig yog suav tias yog kev sib txuas nrog kev ruaj khov. Qhov no tsis yog coincidence. Nws muaj peev xwm ua kom ib puag ncig nyob rau hauv lub xeev ruaj khov tsuas yog tias txoj cai ntawm kev sib npaug sib npaug tsis ua txhaum. Txwv tsis pub, tsis tsuas yog qhov zoo ntawm ib puag ncig ntuj, tab sis txawm tias muaj tag nrho cov complex ntawm ntau yam ntuj tsim tej zaum yuav raug hem.
Kev ruaj ntseg ntawm ecosystem, muab los ntawm txoj cai lij choj ntawm kev sib npaug sab hauv, kuj raug rau qhov sib npaug ntawm thaj chaw loj thiab qhov sib npaug ntawm cov khoom. Nws yog cov tswvyim no uas underlie kev tswj hwm ntuj. Tsis tas li ntawd, kev txhim kho cov txheej txheem tshwj xeeb uas yog tsom rau kev tiv thaiv ib puag ncig yuav tsum tau ua raws li cov cai thiab kev sib npaug saum toj no.
Ecosystem sustainability kuj tuaj yeem xav tias yog ecological tshuav nyiaj li cas. Nws yog ib qho cuab yeej tshwj xeeb ntawm kev ua neej nyob, uas tsis raug ua txhaum cai txawm tias nyob rau hauv kev cuam tshuam ntawm ntau yam anthropogenic yam. Thaum tsim tej yaam num rautxoj kev loj hlob ntawm cov cheeb tsam tshiab, nws yog ib qho tsim nyog yuav tsum tau coj mus rau hauv tus account qhov feem ntau thiab siv cov av hauv cheeb tsam uas nthuav tawm. Cov no tuaj yeem yog ntau qhov chaw hauv nroog, meadows rau grazing nyuj, thaj chaw ntawm cov hav zoov khaws cia. Kev loj hlob tsis txaus ntseeg ntawm thaj chaw tuaj yeem ua rau muaj kev puas tsuaj loj rau ob qho tib si ecology ntawm thaj chaw tshwj xeeb no thiab lub ntiaj teb ecosystem tag nrho.
