Section 02
Edges
Where two habitats meet. Each entry names the species or the process and says what is actually observed, separating what is measured from what is inferred.
The line where two habitats meet
An edge is not a boundary but its own environment — brighter, windier, drier — and it holds species that live in neither side.
Medium entry
Edge depth
How far into a wood the edge conditions actually reach.
Short entry
Hedgerows
A linear habitat that is mostly edge, and how age is read from what grows in it.
Medium entry
The woodland ride
A cut track through trees, managed as habitat rather than access.
Short entry
Who benefits
Edge specialists, and the interior species that lose out.
