Composition
This Maple tree was covered in a blanket of moss and fern plants called "epiphytes". These organisms, (the plants and their host tree) are working together, living in harmony in the same space. The epiphytes draw moisture from the air and live separately, together with their host tree. This made me think of community and the dynamic between the plants that are present within it. From my understanding of our conversation today (10/20), composition is about the species themselves, both present and absent. In a single "snapshot," what can be said about the plant community?
