Bas Grasmayer (@spartz) introduced the concept of the ecosystem model for music in his 2009–2011 thesis project The Answer Is The Ecosystem. Graphic mixed by Ryan Van Etten (@ryanve).

On May 18, 1980, the eastern edge of the searing lateral blast rolled up and over the ridges in front of the picture you're seeing. It tore through the Clearwater Valley, lifting just before reaching this spot. The blast left a gray patchwork of fallen and standing dead trees, and clearings from previous timber harvests. A blanket of 6-14 inches of pumice and ash covered the valley.

 

Prompted by fears of insect infestation and fires, the Forest Service began a five year plan to remove dead trees and replant. They envisioned this valley as a complex ecosystem and living laboratory. Managers, crews and volunteers worked with nature to create a thriving forest community.

Lower Ogeechee River Conservation Corridor (LORCC) encompasses 13,500 acres along the Ogeechee adjacent to Fort Stewart. LORCC offers biodiversity and a buffer for the Installation. Fort Stewart's ecosystem provides habitat crucial to the continued survival of several rare plant and animal species.

Seven species of marine mammals live in the Arctic year-round – the bowhead whale, beluga whale, narwhal, ringed seal, beaded seal, walrus, and polar bear - and many more migrate to the Arctic seasonally. Many marine mammals aggregate in specific areas across the Arctic, for example to feed, or for whelping, pupping or moulting. A common feature of marine mammals in the Arctic is that they are associated with sea ice, although the ecological relationship between sea ice and a species varies. On-going declines in sea ice is likely to lead to changes in the sea-ice ecosystem towards a sub-Arctic ecosystem, and will affect marine mammals in a number of ways both on land and at sea. For example, those species that are most strongly linked to sea ice may retreat to sea ice refugia across the Arctic. There will be increased competition (and predation) from invasive temperate species. Marine mammals will also affected by an increase in human activities like shipping and exploitation of natural resources in areas previously inaccessible due to ice.

Dune ridges become progressively lower inland as the sand supply diminishes. Dunes become grey in colour as humus builds up and moisture retention increases. Soil acidity increases. The environment here is less harsh. There is shelter, fresh water and soil. Many new species appear - creeping williow, sea buckthorn, ragwort, fescue grass are all species that could be found in this type of area. Marram grass dies out.

By far my favourite combination: an Ecosystem notebook + a black leather VadeMecum Pocket Cover.

 

The ecosystem notebook is exactly the same as the Moleskine. The cover fits like a glove.

Danger Shifting Sands - Keep Clear of the Waters Edge.

One of the Delamere Forest 'Meres'.

Embryo dunes. There is very little fresh water for plants and the sand is extremely porous. Plants are blasted by blown sand. Further problems for the plants are caused by salt spray and shifting sands. Sea couch grass, which can extract fresh water from salt water, is one of the few species found here.
