摘要: Thermodynamic entropy was initially proposed by Clausius in 1865. Since then it has been implemented the analysis of different systems, and is seen as a promising concept to understand evolution open systems non-equilibrium conditions. Information Shannon 1948, become an important measure information systems. Both thermodynamic have extensively applied fields related Critical Zone, such hydrology, ecology, pedology, geomorphology. In this study, we review most applications these concepts those fields, including how they are calculated, utilized analyze processes. We synthesize link between entropies light energy dissipation organizational patterns, discuss may be used enhance understanding Zone.
