DESCRIPTION:Traditional views in ecology assumed &ldquo\;relatively stable 
 dynamic equilibrium&rdquo\; in ecosystem states and dynamics reflected in 
 the &ldquo\;balance of nature&rdquo\; paradigm which stretches back into t
 he early Greek culture. This equilibrium assumption dominated ecological r
 esearch until the early 1970&rsquo\;s on all organizational scales from th
 e physiological reaction of single individuals to ecosystem responses to c
 hanging environmental conditions. During the last decades\, ecologists and
  environmental scientists increasingly realized that ecological responses 
 to environmental changes are often nonlinear and in disequilibrium with th
 e current environmental conditions. However\, nonlinearity and disequilibr
 ium dynamics remain still ignored when ecological data is collected and an
 alyzed e.g. in ecological experiments. Pronounced nonlinearity and disequi
 librium responses can however separate the observed ecological response fr
 om its real cause (environmental driver) which challenges researchers when
  seeking for mechanistic understanding of ecological processes. Missed or 
 incompletely detected responses open the door for invalid assumptions abou
 t the mechanistic links between the observed responses and applied treatme
 nts\, further leading to unreliable predictions about ecosystem functionin
 g and service provisioning. A central reason for this disregard prevailing
  in ecology and environmental research might be that guidelines for the pr
 actical implementation of nonlinearity and disequilibrium responses in stu
 dy design and data analysis are still insufficient. In this talk I want to
  present some alternative approaches for data collection and analysis capa
 ble of capturing nonlinearity and disequilibrium conditions in ecological 
 and environmental data and to stimulate discussion about the potential of 
 such alternative ways for ecological and environmental research.
