Ecosystem Dynamics
Human intervention in ecosystem equilibrium
The Australian Aboriginal practice of "Fire-stick farming" has fundamentally modified Australian ecosystems. The legacy of this practice over long periods has resulted in forests being converted to grasslands. In this example, the forests became less and less resilient over time until the fundamental system equilibrium had changed.
