Some notes on the graphic from Mel:

 

Plant species are Salix lemmonii, Carex nebrascensis and Bistorta bistortoides. Fish is a baby rainbow trout. I researched many source images from calflora, university and conservation websites, but none of my images are direct translations of any photographs.

 

I intentionally composed a lot of root-soil space with the idea that you have space to lay over text if you want to. In the sky above the water line in the center of the image I was thinking you could do an arrow pointing down with text like "carbon sink" or something. Let me know if you would like me to hand paint that arrow in later (and rescan and resend image). It wouldn't be too hard, I just wasn't sure if you all wanted it or not.
