ABSTRACT
The radical variability of ecosystems such as lakes when reacting to prevailing conditions has in many situations found traditional modelling too inflexible. The introduction of eco-exergy, a measure of a system's distance from thermodynamic equilibrium, has enabled models to deal with ecosystems that can show major structural changes resulting from adaptation and shifts in species composition. Keywords Eco-exergy; exergy; lake; modelling; structurally dynamic; thermodynamics
