Silent Spring, Walden, Sand County Almanac, Desert Solitaire, stuff by John Muir and John Wesley Powell. Maybe Origin of Species. Maybe Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Others?

You've chosen some good ones. I'd add some more for you to read:
The Yearling by Rawlings shows the destruction of Florida's ecosystems. Also River of Grass.
Not necessarily in the top ten, but good nature reads include:
Ring of Bright Water by Gavin Maxwell
Edwin Way Teale's books
Never Cry Wolf : Amazing True Story of Life Among Arctic Wolves by Farley Mowat
The Outermost House: A Year of Life On The Great Beach of Cape Cod by Henry Beston
The Pine Barrens by John McPhee and James Graves
Goodbye to a River by John Graves

I wouldn't put any of those in the top 10 but I would start with
"Evolution of species" by Charles Darwin
