ANOTHER LOOK AT LEOPOLDS LAND ETHIC

Leopolds's teaching is based on the belief that ''the land is one orga nism.'' Will an ecosystem collapse if a single species is removed, as would an organism without a single organ? What would happen if all nat ive plants and the animals that depend on them were replaced by a sing le introduced species? The answer: a sustainable wheat field, without which Leopold would not be able to create his ethnic, nor we conduct t his discourse.
