Abstract

This review presents a personal view of the development of plant physiological ecology, the science of studying biological diversity, and the functioning of the Earth as a system. The need for interaction among these disciplines is becoming increasingly urgent as we are faced with the challenge of “managing” the Earth system that is increasingly impacted by the activities of humans.
