Arthur Tansley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Arthur George Tansley (August 15, 1871 - November 25, 1955) was an English botanist who was a pioneer in the science of plant ecology. He championed the term ecosystem in 1935 and ecotope in 1939. He was one of the founders of the British Ecological Society, and editor of the Journal of Ecology for twenty years.
Arthur Tansley also theorised about psychology, with a psychoanalytic emphasis. His The New Psychology and its Relation to Life (1920) was his first book to attract a broad readership. [1] Recent research by Peder Anker has argued a close theoretical relationship between Tansley's ecology and his psychology.
