The Soil Resource

Více o knize

The book explores Hans Jenny's influential contributions to systems ecology, particularly his "system view" of soil that emerged from Swiss laboratories to the American prairies in the late 1920s. It highlights his rate equations that shaped ecological understanding and his extensive field studies, including his work in the pygmy forest. Jenny's legacy includes both theoretical frameworks and practical conservation efforts, offering a coherent perspective on the interplay between soil and ecosystems, which continues to inspire future generations of ecologists.
