锈蚀原则的理论和数量框架将有助于河口和沿海生态学家寻求预测，以加强我们对海洋资源的了解和管理。生态学的新陈代谢理论描述了一种可能的生态学统一理论，包括预测从个体到生态系统的经验异速生长关系中观察到的标度指数的机械推导方程。围绕这一理论的争论应该会刺激我们探索它在沿海领域的潜在用途，在沿海领域，特定于应用科学的问题可能会提出新的改进和派生，为生态学的整体进步做出贡献。
A theoretical and quantitative framework of rust principles would benefit estuarine and coastal ecologists in search of predictions to enhance our understanding and management of marine resources. The Metabolic Theory of Ecology describes a possible unifying theory for ecology, including mechanistically derived equations that predict scaling exponents observed in empirical, allometric relationships from individuals to ecosystems. The controversy surrounding this theory should stimulate our exploration of its potential use in the coastal realm, where questions specific to an applied science may suggest new refinements and derivations, contributing to the overall progress of ecology.
