description The necessity and utility of a hierarchical approach to model building in ecology is discussed. Some of the basic properties of hierarchies are described and criteria to discern subsystems are shown. A new approach of measuring the resilience in terms of natural probability of occurrence of a certain perturbation has been suggested, together with a stochastic definition of stability.
