Thomashow’s assignment using a tree prompts the reader to focus on self framework in ecological identity. I feel that my work and study in Environmental Science resides on the leaf of the tree. It is obvious to me that the root of this important work has begun years ago with the efforts of environmental archetypes (as Thomashow refers to Thoreau‚ Muir‚ and Carson)(p30). I can clearly relate myself to this analogy since I was originally planning on studying engineering and technology but soon realized

Ecological Succession… 1 Ecological Succession is… • The observed process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. • The community begins with relatively few pioneering plants and animals and develops through increasing complexity until it becomes stable or self-perpetuating as a climax community. • Succession occurs in all natural environments. Each environment has a particular name that expresses the nature of their ecological succession: Primary and Secondary

Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory which identifies “four different levels of systems that affect the family: microsystems‚ mesosystems‚ ecosystems and macrosystems.” (Cited in Sussman and Hanson‚2014‚p.456). Bronfenbrenner believes the microsystem is the main stage within this system‚ it consists of people within the immediate sphere of the child’s influence‚ therefore it suggests parents‚ friends‚ family‚ and school settings influence a child’s development. According to the ecological systems theory

The Balance of Nature This paper will be about the balance of nature between plants and animals. It will also state how complex their ecosystems are. This paper will be informative in the areas of the balance of nature itself‚ plant and animal interactions‚ and changes in the ecosystem. Living things or organisms provide each other with substances necessary for life‚ and a proper balance between plants and animals is needed to maintain life (1‚ p.246d).

------------------------------------------------- Balance of Nature The balance of nature is a theory that says that ecological systems are usually in a stable equilibrium (homeostasis)‚ which is to say that a small change in some particular parameter (the size of a particular population‚ for example) will be corrected by some negative feedback that will bring the parameter back to its original "point of balance" with the rest of the system. It may apply where populations depend on each other‚
