Understanding
Ecosystems
One of the great
challenges is to understand how science works in the
real world, not out of a text book. Dr. Suzuki
describes current science as following the philosophy
of reductionism - where we look at each separate
component individually - the reality is that in the real
world, it is all connected. Climate systems and
hydrological cycles are local and
global, and weather systems connect us all. Ecosystems that have evolved under specific climatic
conditions will change. What will those changes look
like? Did you know that ecosystems in Canada have already been
identified and mapped by Agriculture Canada and Environment Canada?
