[Preprint]
Abstract
This paper first proposes the concept of " graph ecology " , an emerging discipline that combines graph theory and complex network theory with ecological research. The article begins by introducing the influence of Western philosophy (including holism and systems theory) and Eastern philosophy (especially Taoism) on ecological theory and practice. Then, we deeply explore the roots of graph theory and complex network theory in Eastern and Western philosophy and their application in ecosystem analysis, highlighting the importance of graph ecology in understanding the complexity of ecosystems, especially in revealing ecological networks. Structural and functional role. The article further discusses the differences and complementarities between graph ecology and traditional ecology, and how graph ecology promotes the development of the entire field of ecology. Finally, the application prospects and challenges of graph ecology are discussed, as well as calls for future research directions and interdisciplinary cooperation. This article highlights the critical role of graph ecology in promoting the development of ecological theory and effectively addressing environmental challenges.
