| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses Charles Darwin's research on biodiversity and the impact of loss of biodiversity on the environment. States that "in The Origin of Species there's a quote from Darwin where he says...if you remove species from ecosystems they will work less well." Mentions the research of George Sinclair who was the author of Hortus Gramineus Woburnensis, "a large book which summarises [summarizes] a whole body of experimental work that was done at Woburn Abbey for the Duke of Bedford. George Sinclair was his head gardener and oversaw a lot of this experimental work." |
