Eustasia (ecology)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eustasy (from old-Greek εὖ (eu) good , real and στάσις (stásis) state ) is the relative ecological stability of a landscape ecosystem in ecology . This does not mean long-term stability of ecological conditions in the geological sense, but rather stability over decades or centuries. Eustasia in this sense denotes the opposite of the term astasia . (άστατος: “unstable, shaky”; = not static).

The term eustasia is rarely used in ecology today. The few applications relate to limnological research of the 1950s and 1960s.
