Thursday, September 16, 2010 - 12:00
On this day in 1874 the Nebraska ecologist Frederic Clements was born.
Beginning work shortly after Henry Cowles, he famously showed that vegetation must be understood in its entirety as a complex organism. In 1913, he moved his entire research program to the Alpine Laboratory on Pikes Peak. There he conducted a systematic study of succession in thousands of square miles of the surrounding mountainous terrain.
