Leopold points us in the right direction (1970: 253): "Land, then, is not merely soil; it is a fountain of energy flowing through a circuit of soils, plants, and animals ... a sustained circuit, like a slowly augmented revolving fund of life." Correspondingly, Rolston... | |

Land, then, is not merely soil; it is a fountain of energy flowing through a circuit of soils, plants, and animals. Food chains are the living channels which conduct energy upward; death and decay return it to the soil.
