	Arthur Tansley Summary
		Arthur G. Tansley was a highly influential British botanist and ecologist.
		Tansley was highly influential in the development of the field of ecology.
		Tansley also performed important research that showed that plant species are capable of growing over a wider range of environmental conditions than they actually manage to exploit in nature.

		Yet Arthur was more than an academic botanist or a scientific name-caller; he was interested in (and intrigued by) the insect world, bird life, the weather, the soil, the water and stars.
		Arthur was a firm believer in true ecology: the relationship between organisms and their environment, and the unity within creation.
		In his last years Arthur spoke out more and more about the conservation of the natural world, feeling that the younger generations were lacking in their respect for the environment.

	Ecosystem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In ecology, an ecosystem is a naturally occurring assemblage of organisms (plant, animal and other living organisms—also referred to as a biotic community or biocoenosis) living together with their environment (or biotope), functioning as a unit of sorts.
		However, the term had been coined already in 1930 by Tansley's colleague Roy Clapham, who was asked if he could think of a suitable word to denote the physical and biological components of an environment considered in relation to each other as a unit.
		Tansley expanded on the term in his later work, adding the ecotope concept to define the spatial context of ecosystems (Tansley, 1939).

		British ecologist Sir Arthur Tansley formed it as a contraction of "ecological system" and used it in a scientific paper he wrote to clarify the meaning of other ecological terms that were in use at the time (
		Tansley coined the word to emphasize his view that a science of ecological systems would not emerge from the study of vegetation by extension of vegetation concepts and terms, but rather through the study of "
		In Tansley's mind there was a widespread abuse of vegetation concepts and terms resulting from the failure to see that vegetation and "ecosystem" are not synonymous.

		SIR ARTHUR TANSLEY (1871-1955) was an English botanist and one of the founders of the world's first ecological society, the British Ecological Society.
		Tansley's term did not come into general use in ecology until after his death, and only very recently has it become a part of everyday language.
		As is the case for all kinds and levels of biosystems (biological systems), ecosystems are open systems, that is, things are constantly entering and leaving, even though the general appearance and basic functions may remain constant for long periods of time.

		Biogeography, which deals with habitats of species, is often confused with ecology; it seeks to explain the reasons for the presence of certain species in a given location.
		It was in 1935 that Arthur Tansley, the british ecologist, coined the term ecosystem, the interactive system established between the biocenose (the group of living creatures), and their biotope, the environment in which they live.
		The vision of "Gaïa" is a sign of the times, proposed by James Lovelock, in his work The Earth is Alive, which compares the Earth to a single living macro-organism.

	BiblioVault - Imperial ecology: environmental order in the British Empire, 1895-1945
		Patrons in the northern and southern extremes of the Empire, he argues, urgently needed tools for understanding environmental history as well as human relations to nature and society in order to set policies for the management of natural resources and to effect social control of natives and white settlement.
		Holists such as Jan Christian Smuts and mechanists such as Arthur George Tansley vied for the right to control and carry out ecological research throughout the British Empire and to lay a foundation of economic and social policy that extended from Spitsbergen to Cape Town.
		Instead, we find that both the liberal mechanism of British ecologist Arthur George Tansley and the holistic ecology of South African statesman Jan Christian Smuts were both firmly built upon nationalism--and a nationalism that mattered a great deal, militarily, racially, and socially.

		Eugene P. Odum (1913-2002) is considered to have been one of the most influential figures in the science of ecology in the twentieth century.
		Finding that his colleagues didn’t generally know what ecology (in its own right) might be, Dr. Odum perceived a need.
		Eugene Odum adopted and developed further the term "ecosystem." Although sometimes said to have been coined by Raymond Lindeman in 1942, others assert that the term ecosystem first appeared in a 1935 publication by the British ecologist Arthur Tansley, and had previously (1930) been coined by Tansley's colleague Roy Clapham.

		Puri (1952) disagreed: "Sir Arthur Tansley's comments betray lack of proper appreciation of Dr. Arber's point of view." He said, "The present reviewer sees little difference in the partial-shoot theory of Dr. Arber and the Telome theory of Professor Zimmermann.
