Chapter 09

Ecosystems

Landscape-scale portraits of the vereda's life zones.
Where the rest of the book works species by species, this chapter steps back to the scale of the whole forest — how the canopy is put together, how it is changing, and what it takes to survey a mountainside that is too steep and too remote to walk transect by transect.

Ecosystems is the home for longer, figure-driven pieces: research articles, survey write-ups, and essays about the landscape itself rather than any one organism living in it.
