Document Summary
Some wildlife management is population management (harvest management, reintroduction) Manipulating vegetation indirectly by managing limiting factors and succession (disturbance, fire, water) Managing vegetation by managing human activity (roads or not atvs or not, # of people) Plants, prey, predators, humans, and disturbance (fire, flood, hurricane, drought) interact to create a system. A system is any phenomenon having at least two components and some interaction between those components. A group of related bodies under the influence of related forces. Consists of many agents, each interacting with others that"s have the same or different strategies. Heating system of a house (furnace, thermostat, ducts), ignition system of a car (alternator, spark plugs, plug wires, battery, generator) Virtually all systems are part of a larger system (house, car) and contain components that are also systems (furnace, alternator) Mouse: nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, etc. When systems do change, rapid internal re-organization is followed by stability (assuming the system does not disintegrate)
