  This presents a new way to study ecosystems, resonant with current thinking in geobiology. It asks what are the fundamental characteristics of living systems that might allow them to sustain life? It shows how the idea of fundamental ecological processes can be developed at the systems level, specifically their involvement in control mechanisms.
