The field is built on several foundational concepts that distinguish it from traditional ecology:
: Describes how elements interact through flows of energy, materials, and organisms. This includes habitat connectivity and the delivery of ecosystem services.
: Focuses on how structure and function transform over time due to natural disturbances (e.g., fires, floods) and human interventions (e.g., urbanization, deforestation).
