Abstract
LAND use and management involve a wide range of human adjustments to environment. This range extends from purely physical problems on into those of social relationship. The only scientific rubric embracing such a wide field is that of ecology. This is not to assume for ecology any greater authority than other sciences possess, but merely the right to try to develop a symbolism and method suitable to its approach.
