Charles Sutherland Elton
Charles Sutherland Elton was a pioneering British ecologist known for founding modern ecological methods. He studied how animals and plants interact within ecosystems and introduced concepts like food chains and ecological niches, which explain how species coexist and depend on each other for survival. His work helped us understand the balance of nature, how populations grow or decline, and the impact of environmental changes. Elton's research laid the foundation for ecological conservation and informed us about the importance of maintaining biodiversity for healthy ecosystems.
