I found a longer obit at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/theithacajournal/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=137067644
It concludes with: "Carl grew up with strong personal roots in the natural world and in the Land Ethic of his father and after growing his own youthful sapwood, colorful heartwood, and thin latewood, Carl became a mighty and graceful trunk that nurtured and enthusiastically supported many plant physiologists, conservationists and others who consider themselves to be "Leopold leaves" on the tree of his life. Carl was buried in Greensprings Natural Cemetery in Newfield, of which he was a co-founder. In this last initiative, he completed the circle begun by his father's quest to understand how to live on the land without spoiling it. Carl's molecules and minerals will be recycled into the fruits of the native bushes that will feed the native birds and provide energy for their songs."
