Eccentrics

Changing our own environment
for optimal human life,
we change it for all life
everywhere and increasingly.

...bodies of water different in salinity,
nutrient content and acidity
favour different diatom species.

When the optimal environment
for different species has been charted,
the changes in the distribution of the species
tell something directly
about the changes in the environment.
