Article Excerpt:

Over the course of the inquiry that began in 1995 when I was assigned to document the rehabilitation of China’s Loess Plateau, I have learned many things.

Specifically, I have observed that there are powerful long-term evolutionary trends that have provided and continuously renewed the atmosphere, the hydrological cycle and the fertility and productivity of the soils. These trends are principles and they are understandable, measurable and predictable.

The three trends that I have observed and study are:

  • The trend toward total colonization of the Earth by biological life.
  • The trend toward differentiation and speciation leading to massive biodiversity.
  • The trend toward the accumulation of organic matter as each generation of life lays down its body to nurture the next.
