Describe Gleasons and Eglers view of ecosystems (initial floristics)
a. Gleason's view of ecosystems focuses on the individualistic nature of plant species and their responses to environmental conditions, emphasiing the importance of historical contingencies and random events in shaping community composition.

b. Eglers' view of ecosystems, on the other hand, highlights the importance of the interactions between species and their roles in structuring communities, emphasiing the influence of competition, predation, and mutualism on community dynamics.

c. Gleason's initial floristics approach emphasies the idea that plant species respond individually to environmental conditions and do not form distinct community types, while Eglers' initial floristics approach suggests that plant species do form distinct and predictable community types based on their interactions with one another.

d. Both Gleason and Egler recognie the importance of environmental conditions in shaping plant communities, but they emphasie different aspects of community dynamics and organiation. Gleason focuses on individualistic responses of plant species, while Egler emphasies the interactions between species.
