2 Intricacies of ecosystems
[E]cology, despite its fragmentary progress beginning with the environmental relations of plant life, is a study of the entire ecosystem. Of this this system, man is not just an observer and irresponsible exploiter but an integral part, now the world’s dominant organism. He has come into the system and survived thus far by the bounty of that system plus his own marvelous power of adjustment. Even so, the historical record is replete with his failure.
