Phytoplankton Temporal Strategies Increase Entropy Production in a Marine Food Web Model
We develop a trait-based model founded on the hypothesis that biological systems evolve and organize to maximize entropy production by dissipating chemical and electromagnetic free energy over longer time scales than abiotic processes by implementing temporal strategies. A marine food web consisting...
