Abstract
Ecologists customarily divide the terrestrial environments of the earth into a series of major biomes: tundra, taiga, deciduous forest, grassland, desert, and the like. It seems to me that to this list should be added the “man-altered biome” or “man-altered landscape, ” for the environments in which human activity is the major determinant of the survival of organisms. The man-altered environments are, to be sure, extremely diverse, including such different things as cities, gardens, orchards, fields, rice paddies, managed forests, and abandoned clearings. But there is one important common factor to all of these: for survival, an animal or plant must be able to adapt to the consequences of the actions of man.
