Steady-State Equilibrium

• Tendency of a system to return to a previous equilibrium condition after a disturbance

• Tendency of a system to form a new equilibrium condition after a disturbance

• System in which there are no changes over the long term, but small fluctuations in the short term

In ecosystems, the inputs of matter and energy are always constant

• True

• False

Changes in ecosystems lead to variations in population, food sources, water sources, etc.
