I’m leaning towards McHarg, but I remember there were debates about who really deserves that title in class discussions.

I thought Lindblom had some significant theories related to ecology, but I can't remember if he was called the father of modern ecology.

I think I remember reading that McHarg is often referred to in discussions about modern ecology, but I'm not entirely sure if he's the "father" of it.

Ah, I think I've got it! The father of modern ecology was probably Lindblom. He was a political scientist who developed the concept of "disjointed incrementalism" which had a big influence on how we think about environmental policy and decision-making. I'm feeling good about that one.

I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ecology is a broad field, so it's hard to pinpoint a single "father" figure. I'll have to use the process of elimination to try to narrow it down based on what I know about these names.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is C. McHarg. He was a pioneering landscape architect who made major contributions to the development of ecological planning and design. I remember learning about his work in my environmental science class.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll have to think carefully about the key figures in the history of ecology to determine the father of the field.

Okay, let's see. Krumholz, Lindblom, McHarg, Davidoff - those are all interesting names, but I'm not sure which one would be considered the "father" of modern ecology. I'll have to review my notes.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Can someone explain what "CI" stands for? I want to make sure I understand the context before I answer.

B) Lindblom? Didn't he invent the 'science of muddling through'? I think I'm getting my ecologists mixed up here.
