New cards

Emergent properties

Properties of a system that arise from the interactions and arrangement of its parts and cannot be predicted from the individual components.

2
New cards

Systems biology

The field that models the behavior of biological systems by analyzing interactions among their parts.

3
New cards

Antifungal compounds in wood

Substances produced within wood (as in redwood) that prevent fungi from digesting the wood, helping the trunk stay solid.

4
New cards

Fungal decay

The process by which fungi digest wood, leading to internal deterioration and potential structural failure.

5
New cards

Organization (pattern of arrangement)

The pattern by which components are arranged within a system, which can lead to emergent properties and different behaviors.

6
New cards

Modeling

Creating mathematical or computational representations to simulate and analyze the behavior of a system.

7
New cards

IPCC

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a UN body that assesses climate science and informs policy.

8
New cards

Climate change

Long-term changes in Earth's climate (temperature, precipitation, etc.) studied and reported by bodies like the IPCC.
