a. Willdenow and Humboldt (early 1800’s) said similar climate = similar plant formsb. Haekel (1866) coined the term “ecology”c. Warming (early 1900’s) related plant morphology and physiology to biogeographyd. Lindeman (1940’s) traced energy flow through a lake community (ecosystem ecology)e. Carlson (1960) wrote Silent Spring
