TED-ED: Feedback loops: How nature gets its rhythms - Anje-Margriet Neutel

The video explores the concept of feedback in nature, highlighting its role in ecosystems. It distinguishes between positive feedback, which amplifies changes, and negative feedback, which stabilizes systems. Examples include plant growth and predator-prey dynamics. The complexity of feedback loops is discussed, emphasizing their indirect nature and role in ecological networks. Ecosystems are compared to musical compositions, with different habitats producing unique 'sounds.' The video concludes by noting how ecosystems evolve over time, akin to changing musical harmonies.
