Levin building ecology at Sloan Symposium, 2011hlevin
This document summarizes a presentation on linking microbial ecology with the indoor environment and building science. It identifies several key factors that can influence the microbial ecology within buildings:
1. Humidity, temperature, ventilation, and the surfaces of building materials are strongly connected to the microbes present indoors.
2. Filtration, cleaning practices, HVAC systems, envelope design, and maintenance are also important building components or processes that have plausible connections to indoor microbes.
3. Additional factors like building location, type, materials, room activities, and light exposure may also impact the indoor microbial ecology but require more research to establish clear connections. Understanding these interactions is important to characterize the complex indoor microbial environment
The document discusses the controversy surrounding the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) and its implications for rice improvement strategies. SRI uses different cultivation methods compared to conventional rice farming, including single seedling transplanting, alternating wet and dry fields, and more. While SRI proponents claim it can yield higher than conventional methods, IRRI researchers are skeptical and believe existing knowledge is sufficient. The legacy of IRRI's "green revolution" approach focusing on genetic improvements is examined, as well as how SRI presents an alternative model that considers more environmental factors. Prospects discussed include other lateral approaches being difficult to stop and IRRI transitioning to a knowledge and training center role.
An ecosystem is defined as all the organisms in an area along with their nonliving environment. Energy flows through ecosystems in trophic levels, with primary producers like plants converting sunlight into chemical energy. Only about 10% of energy is transferred between each trophic level. Human impacts on ecosystems include increased eutrophication of lakes from pollution, acid rain from fossil fuel combustion, and rising CO2 levels causing the greenhouse effect.
These forests under the sea are some of the most beautiful places on the planet. Imagine flying, like a bird or butterfly, through a forest full of beautiful and fascinating residents with the sun’s rays filtering down through the canopy above. These ecosystems are not only beautiful and interesting, they are valuable to humans and they are valuable to the planet.
When viewed through the perspective of a city under the sea, kelp beds also offer insights about sustainability. Kelp plants are like buildings but very special buildings that are powered completely by solar energy and provide both food and shelter for residents. In this imaginary underwater city, there is recycling, public health, advertising and lots of other things familiar from our own communities. There are also lessons we can take from the kelp bed ecosystem to guide us in creating more sustainable communities on land.
The document defines ecological farming as maximizing soil nutrients and profit potential while minimizing environmental degradation. It outlines six principles of ecological farming: feeding the soil biology with diverse cover crops, minimizing toxicity, introducing beneficial microbes, no-till or never-till practices, using soil amendments, and maintaining the system. The document emphasizes that soil carbon acts as a "keystone" for soil processes and properties in nutrient cycling.
Two students redesigned the school medical room to make it more eco-friendly. Their redesign includes installing wool insulation, double glazed windows, eco-friendly blankets and rugs, and a solar heated water tank. They also want to enlarge the medical room and bathroom, add more beds with polar fleece blankets, and improve the heating with curtains and underfloor heating. Their presentation shows diagrams of their new improved, eco-friendly design for the medical room.
Emergence of Nested Architecture in Mutualistic Ecological CommunitiesSamir Suweis
Mutualistic networks are formed when the interactions between two classes of species are mutually beneficial. They are important examples of cooperation shaped by evolution. Mutualism between animals and plants has a key role in the organization of ecological communities. Such networks in ecology have generally evolved
a nested architecture independent of species composition and latitude; specialist species, with only few mutualistic links, tend to interact with a proper subset of the many mutualistic partners of any of the generalist species.Despite sustained efforts to explain observed network structure on the basis of community-level stability or persistence, such correlative studies have reached minimal consensus. Here we show that nested interaction networks could
emerge as a consequence of an optimization principle aimed at maximizing the species abundance in mutualistic communities. Using analytical and numerical approaches, we show that because of the mutualistic interactions, an increase in abundance of a given species results in a corresponding increase in the total number of individuals
in the community, and also an increase in the nestedness of the interaction matrix. Indeed, the species abundances and the nestedness of the interaction matrix are correlated by a factor that depends on the strength of the mutualistic interactions. Nestedness and the observed spontaneous emergence of generalist and specialist species occur for several dynamical implementations of the variational principle under stationary conditions. Optimized networks, although remaining stable, tend to be less resilient than their counterparts with randomly assigned interactions. In particular, we show analytically that the abundance of the rarest species is linked directly to the resilience of the community. Our work provides a unifying framework for studying the emergent structural and dynamical properties of ecological mutualistic networks.
The document discusses several principles of ecological design including environmental ethics, the triple bottom line of social equity, environmental impact, and financial reward. It provides examples of green building projects like Dockside Green in Vancouver, BC, which used brownfield redevelopment, vegetated systems, wastewater reuse, and renewable energy. Other case studies discussed include the Harvard Blackstone Renovation and the California Academy of Sciences roof habitat project. Design criteria for ecological reference, balanced capacity, and sustainable yield are also outlined.

Ashrae standards for energy efficiency in buildingsUNEP OzonAction
This document discusses several ASHRAE standards related to building energy efficiency, including Standard 90.1, Standard 90.2, the Green Building Standard, Standard 189.1, and building energy labels. Standard 90.1 provides minimum energy efficiency requirements for commercial buildings, while Standard 90.2 does the same for residential buildings. The Green Building Standard and Standard 189.1 establish benchmarks for sustainable green buildings. Building energy labels provide information on a building's energy use and performance to help differentiate buildings.
The document discusses the role of National Innovation Council (NInC) and State Innovation Councils (SInCs) in building an innovation ecosystem in India. It outlines the mandate of NInC which includes formulating a roadmap for innovation and creating an environment to foster inclusive innovation. The role of SInCs is to map opportunities for innovation in states and help create local innovation ecosystems. The document also describes several innovation initiatives and programs led by NInC, including innovation clusters, challenges and competitions, the Open Government Platform, and expectations from SInCs to support these efforts and develop similar programs at the state level.
Landscape ecology focuses on (1) the spatial relationships among landscape elements, (2) the flows of energy, nutrients, and species among elements, and (3) the ecological dynamics of the landscape mosaic through time. It considers the development and dynamics of spatial heterogeneity, spatial and temporal interactions across heterogeneous landscapes, and the influence of spatial heterogeneity on biotic and abiotic processes. Landscape ecology is motivated by a need to understand pattern development in ecological phenomena, the role of disturbance, and characteristic spatial and temporal scales of ecological events while emphasizing broad spatial scales and the effects of ecosystem spatial patterning.
Natural ecosystems provide numerous ecosystem services that are essential to human well-being and economic activity. These services include provisioning services like food, fiber, fuel and medicines; regulating services like climate regulation, flood and drought mitigation, soil formation, and pest control; and cultural services like inspiration, recreation, and spiritual fulfillment. However, many of these services are being degraded or lost due to human activities like habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution, and climate change. Properly valuing ecosystem services and incorporating their value into policy and economic decisions is crucial for ensuring their continued supply for future generations.

Ecosystem services and natural capital – the foundation of a green economy Marianne Kettunen
This document discusses how ecosystem services and natural capital are integral to establishing a green economy. It defines ecosystem services as the benefits people obtain from ecosystems, such as food, water, and recreation. Natural capital refers to the stock of natural resources and ecosystems that provide a flow of ecosystem services. A green economy aims to improve human well-being while reducing environmental risks. The document argues that a green economy must value and protect natural capital and the ecosystem services it provides. It provides several examples of the economic value of ecosystem services in order to illustrate how fully integrating them into policymaking can help build a truly green economy.
Ecological pyramids graphically represent trophic structure in ecosystems. There are three main types: numbers pyramids show individuals per trophic level; biomass pyramids show mass per level; and productivity pyramids show energy flow between levels. Numbers pyramids typically have a broad base of producers and narrow top of apex predators. Biomass pyramids can be inverted in aquatic systems depending on species longevity. Productivity pyramids show only 10% of energy is transferred between trophic levels. Pollutants can biomagnify up food chains, becoming more concentrated and potentially toxic at higher levels.
