Ecosystems

Local ecosystems and large ecosystems and eco regions of the world. A look into that matter that until the 1930s of the last century was also unknown in its terminology. We must arrive at the great ecologist Tansley who, taking up the concept of “biocenosis” from Mœbius and that of “biosystem” from Thiemann, instead coined the term “ecosystem” which soon had the definitive prevalence over all the others. A few years later (1939) he defined and gave the name to another important element of ecology: the “ecotope”.
