      Systems and exploring.
      The soil is the factor that integrates all terrestrial (land) ecosystems, and it also has a substantial effect on aquatic (fresh water) and marine (sea water) ecosystems, as well. It is the place where physics, chemistry, biology, geology, ecology, and meteorology meet.
      So, I like walking across a landscape, observing the soil and plants and animals that live there, then going to another place, doing the same thing, and trying to understand why the differences I observe happen.
