Bioclimatics: A science of life and climate relations

Bioclimatics is a science of relations between life, climate, seasons, and geographic distribution. It deals with fundamental laws, principles, systems, and methods of application in general research and economic practice, and has special reference to the major and minor effects of the major astronomic and terrestrial laws of causation, as represented by the variable phenomena of life, climate, and seasons, relative to the geographic coordinates as expressed, measured, and interpreted in units of time, temperature, and distance. The science differs from the other branches of biology, climatology, and geography in that it is based on the bioclimatic (and related) laws and principles, and in that it deals more specifically with fundamentals and methods of application relative to the phenomena of seasons, climates, and geographic distribution. It is not, therefore, a brance of any one of the major or minor sciences, but is intended to be supplementary to all in contributing information on fundamentals, and to serve a specific purpose.
