Change - Change means movement and alterations in parts and processes of a system away from an existing state or condition. All natural systems have the capacity to change. Feedback means the ability of the system to “recognize" the potential effects of the changes on the system. Adjustments mean using those positive changes from the feedback process to alter the system in ways that will ensure continual survival. Change alone does not come all good or all bad. Those systems that change in ways that make them less able to survive are rarely, if ever, seen. If modern arboriculture is to survive positive adjustments must be made on the basis of an active feedback process that in turn operates on the basis of accepting changes.

Change is constant orderly alterations in and with all things and arrangements of things biotic and abiotic over time.
