Résumé
The present-day concept of complexity is reviewed and discussed with respect to its potential implications on the practice of ecological engineering applied to ecosystems. It is argued that ecological engineers must incorporate concepts arising from complex system studies such as emergence, scaling, self-organization, and unpredictability into their conceptual model of an ecosystem in order to effectively design, manage, or restore such systems. These four concepts are introduced with reference to complex systems in general, and then with specific reference to ecosystems. A discussion of how ecological engineering should be approached in the context of complex system studies is then presented. While the article specifically addresses ecological engineers, the content is also applicable to anyone working in ecosystem restoration and natural resource management.
