Sistemas complexos: novas formas de ver a Botânica

Abstract: ABSTRACT-(Complex systems: new forms to see Botany). Part of the science field named Complexity has quickly been developing during the last 15 years and the application of such tools to the Plant Sciences is imminent. In the present review we present some of the basic concepts related to Complexity, and some examples of applications to different areas in Botany are given. The main reasoning of this work is that better understanding and subsequent application by the botanists of this approach to plant taxonomy,… Show more

“…It includes in a single freeware package, a set of statistical tools that allows users to deal with the problem of spatial autocorrelation in biodiversity data. Last but not least, complex system theory and related analytical tools, recently revised by Souza & Buckeridge (2004), also open a new and exciting avenue for biodiversity research. Finally, the examples discussed in this topic both demonstrate the creativity of some Brazilian researchers and the room that still exists for improvement in quantitative analytical tools related to biodiversity issues.…”

“…Os fenômenos naturais, em sua maioria, constituem-se em sistemas dinâmicos complexos que apresentam dinâmica evolutiva determinada pela sua estrutura e pelos fatores externos, principalmente energéticos (radiação solar, luminosidade), materiais (precipitação e CO 2 , entre outros) e causas endógenas (MACIEL, 1974;BERTALANFFY, 1975;ODUM, 1988;MATURANA;VARELA, 1997;SOUZA;BUCKERIDGE, 2004).…”

“…A segunda propriedade é a existência de níveis críticos, ou patamares, a partir dos quais o sistema se desequilibra. Essa mudança de estado geralmente é causada por pequeno aumento no fluxo de matéria e energia (GLEICK, 1989;SOUZA;BUCKERIDGE, 2004).…”
