| * **Conservation (K):** Also referred to as the “growth and maturation” phase. This is a stage of slow accumulation and storage of energy and materials. Here, the biological capital is stored and connectedness reaches its peak. In ecology this stage occurs when a population reaches its carrying capacity and stabilises for a time. | * **Conservation (K):** Also referred to as the “growth and maturation” phase.

| * **Release (Ω):** Also referred to as the “death” phase. This stage occurs rapidly in a system that has become over-connected. The release of stored carbon and nutrients is triggered and causes quick and drastic changes. In ecosystems this stage occurs when a population declines due to a competitor or changed conditions. | * **Release (Ω):** Also referred to as the “death” phase.
