Is it true that Undisturbed ecosystems naturally return to a stable equilibrium through negative feedback, a balance of nature?
Partly. One source questions whether human activity upsets a balance of nature or merely enhances naturally occurring disequilibria, while a few others partially support the idea that some ecosystems self-organize stable cycles or return to equilibrium after disturbance, mostly through models or single cases. No retrieved item settles the general claim at full strength.
