It has been proved that non–extensive entropy (Sq) proposed by Tsallis for statistical physics would be considered as generalized formally equivalent version of biodiversity index which covers several other well–know versions of biodiversity indices such as Shannon–Wiener (H), Simpson (D). Moreover, a Tsallis entropy–based thermodynamic theory for ecological systems would have been constructed by the standard routines of statistical physics to determine the most important ecologically physical quantities such as ecological internal energy (Uq) and temperature (Tq). Within this proposed approach, an opportunity to build up a full thermodynamic description of ecological systems would be ready in all possible aspects. This work presents in details the method and accompanied technique to realize this idea and discusses the ecological and physical consequences of obtained results.
