When applied to ecology, what does the new science of chaos imply?

One small change in an ecosystem can lead to drastic results

Hope this helps!

The new science of chaos, when applied to ecology, indicates that the ecosystem is too sensitive and even a very minute variation in an ecosystem can result in a drastic modification in the environment. It is very tough to determine the modifications that occur as a consequence of that drastic variation.  

For example, the weather is something, which is very tough to determine precisely. The pattern of wind and geophysical processes varies vigorously.
