Replicated treatments (including sapropel at 200 t ha − 1 ) were applied to crop rotations (maize, barley, clover, winter rye, potatoes and oats) and long-term inﬂuences on soil physico-chemical properties and crop yield examined. Soil agrochemical properties were evaluated before (1984–85) and after the end of the ﬁrst (1989–90),second(1995–96)andthird(2001–02)croprotationsfromfourtreatmentsandfourreplicates.Results reveal that, in most cases, there are notable increases in soil pH, total absorbed bases, available phosphorus and potassium and soil organic matter content after each crop rotation. Moreover, results show that sapropel can improve crop productivity to comparable levels as manure-fertilized soils. This indicates that there are long-term beneﬁts of sapropel applications, namely improvements in soil properties and associated inﬂuences on crop productivity. However, sapropel extraction and application requires sound environmental management of the risks involved so as to provide safe, practical, commercial and sustainable resources for the countries with these deposits. Management should accord with EU directives on soil, water and farming practices.","PeriodicalId":13902,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics","volume":"31 3 1","pages":"108-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82653014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utility analysis is an extension of basic I/O methodology that enables determination of proximate and ultimate interaction types between components by comparing contributions from and to intersecting I/O environs that mediate pairwise interactions. Ordered sign pairs of computed utilities specify and quantify nine interaction types. Our study asks two questions: (1) How do we unscramble complex webs to determine ultimate interaction types between components in ecosystems? (2) Is unweighted digraph structure, as widely investigated in food-web and other network theories, by itself sufﬁcient, or must linkages also be quantiﬁed (weighted)? Utility analysis of ‘community modules’, which are small- order dissipative steady-state networks, indicated three modes of determining interaction types: (1) Structural determination – in certain simple webs, interactions are determined by network topology alone, without regard for numerical ﬂow values; (2) Parametric determination, endogenous – in other webs, interactions are internally determined by ﬂow values within the system. Both network topology and interior ﬂow magnitudes combine to determine interaction types; (3) Parametric determination, exogenous – in a third class of webs, interactions are externally determined by boundary ﬂows into the system from outside. In these webs, a combination of network topology and external inputs determines the interaction types. Characteristics of these three categories of networks are described, and it is shown that interactions in ecosystems, such as competition, predation, and mutualism, are typically not ﬁxed, as often assumed, but vary with network coupling patterns and ﬂow magnitudes, which are always ﬂuid and changing.","PeriodicalId":13902,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics","volume":"160 1","pages":"88-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85701032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theory of complex dynamic systems provides a holistic, explanatory framework offering a participatory perspective that recognizes the fundamental interconnectedness, interdependence, and unpredictability of biological, social, economic, and ecological systems. Building on the tradition of urban planning within a regional context, to conceive the sustainable city as an emergent property of appropriate interactions and relationships within a complex, holarchically structured whole, takes contextualization further. Increased awareness of nature and culture as an interconnected complex dynamic system, and sensitivity to material and immaterial (psychological) aspects, leads to more sustainable solutions based on transdisciplinary integration. Worldviews and value systems, and ecological literacy play an important role in the creation of sustainable lifestyles, communities, cities and societies. This article suggests that complexity theory, combined with aspects of integral theory and integral ecology, when applied through design as a transdisciplinary integrator, can provide a framework and a methodology that links spatial and temporal scales across all scales of design from product design, architecture, construction ecology, community design, industrial ecology, to urban and bioregional planning. Ultimately, a sustainable city emerges from the interactions among sustainable communities of ecologically and socially literate citizens who live sustainable lifestyles.","PeriodicalId":13902,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics","volume":"105 1","pages":"57-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79262228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
