Eugene Pleasants Odum, called "the father of modern ecology," brought the word ecosystem into common parlance by making it the organizing concept in his 1953 Fundamentals of Ecology. Through that textbook, which was translated into twelve languages, and through his many other books and articles, he led the way toward the study of nature in terms of ecosystems, and with his brother, the ecologist Howard Thomas Odum, powerfully influenced the development of ecosystem ecology.text/htmlengSystem requirements: Quicktime plug-in required for audio and video clips.Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/System requirements: Quicktime plug-in required for audio and video clips.Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Odum, Eugene Pleasants, 1913-College teachers--Georgia--AthensUniversity of Georgia--FacultyUniversity of GeorgiaScholars--GeorgiaEcologists--GeorgiaEnvironmentalists--GeorgiaEcology--HistoryEugene Odum (1913-2002)Text
