View: System Environment (Context)
The Ecological System (Ecosystem) fits into the various earth spheres.
In addition, the physical environment provides the context for:
- Human Activity Systems
- Human Activity Infrastructure Services
- Designed Systems (physical and abstract)
The ecosystem boundary (Ecological Boundary) is defined by the geographic area (spatial) identified in the system-of-interest. The ecological boundary can range from the whole earth to a smaller region. The environment also includes the human activity systems and infrastructure services defined as other types of systems.
