Entropy and Ecology

Abstract: The understanding of "entropy" has proved fruitful for the investigation of biosystems, as well as the processes of information transmission and processing. The evolution as a whole and the development of every organism is under the influence of entropy. Biosystems are fed with energy from the surrounding world. By influencing nature, man increases or decreases order in the world, and entropy, which is a quantitative measure of disorder (chaos), is a characteristic of changing order in the system. In addition, an increase in entropy corresponds to an increase in chaos, disorder (disorganization) in the system, and a decrease - to system order (organization). In this way, by changing the order in the environment, humanity changes the entropy. Thus, entropy fully obeys certain regularities. Entropy, in nature and economics, has become an increasingly abstract expression, the anomaly of the numerous processes that are constantly increasing and we have various scientific investigations. Based on the above, it is necessary to decompose the processes, separate its constituent elements, determine the interaction of the elements, and only then determine their contribution to the total entropy of the system.
