About
Ecology at the scale you can actually walk through: what grows back on ground that has been burned, cleared or abandoned, and in what order; where one habitat meets another; what moves between the pieces; and the city ground that turns out to be its own habitat rather than a poor copy of the countryside.
How an entry is written
Every entry names the species or the process, says what is actually observed, and separates what has been measured from what is inferred from it. Where a figure comes from a particular method — a quadrat count, a transect walked for thirty years, a mark–recapture estimate — the entry says which method, because the method sets the limits of the claim.
Where the science is contested, the entry says so and names the disagreement rather than picking a side. No figure is given that we cannot attribute. Nothing here recommends a course of action; this is a description of how living things share a place, not a position on what anybody should do about it.
How it is organised
Six sections: Succession, Edges, Corridors, Returns, Pavement and Counting. Every entry sits in exactly one of them, and the register lists all thirty-one in section order. Entries carry no dates. They are revised in place when the evidence moves, which means a date on the page would be a claim about the text rather than about the ecology.
Photographs
Photographs are chosen to show the ground an entry describes, and captions carry information the picture cannot — a species, a depth, a rate. Credits sit beneath the caption, smaller and quieter.
