This article discussed the thermodynamic processes in the development of forest ecosystems and plant populations based on the exergy theories of ecosystems. We linked the exergy dissipation with the corresponding eco-physiological processes in the forest ecosystems. At the ecosystems level, we divided exergy dissipation into plant dissipation and environment dissipation, and analyzed the relationship between the two processes. We firstly elucidated that transpiration is the fraction of plant exergy dissipation and discussed how to use it to evaluate ecosystem development and plant competitive capacity. At the level of individual plants, we proposed that / exergy storage0 and / exergy dissipation0 are two important factors determining the outcomes of plant compe
