  7. Biomes are areas defined by the plant and animal life adapted for a particular biotic region.

  8. C.Why StudyEcology? 1.History

  9. a.Willdenow and Humboldt(early 1800’s) said similar climate = similar plant forms b.Haekel(1866) coined the term “ecology” c.Warming (early 1900’s) related plant morphology and physiology to biogeography d.Lindeman(1940’s)traced energy flow through a lake community (ecosystem ecology) e.Carlson(1960) wrote Silent Spring

  10. II.Related Fields
