I think traditionally humans have managed ecology to intercept succession - for example, keeping the forest "young" by burning it off every so often allows a greater diversity of plants and animals than if the forest were allowed to follow its own succession into a climax phase.

I think some of us have been through so many of the "how do we define native" discussions for so long, sometimes we take the accepted definition for granted. It wasn't easy to get to consensus on that definition, as your questions proved. |

Excellent idea to put together a definitions thread! It's really helpful to have a common reference point.

Naturalized doesn't mean they're native plants but the exact opposite? News to me and news to all my family and friends.

hazelnut, Umm, that's an About.com landscaper's definition and take on naturalized. It might not work well for us.

Stoloniferous: I don't see any reason why educated people cannot have a discussion. There is no reason for misunderstandings and paranoia. The whole point of a discussion is to clear the air, people learn something and respect other peoples' point of view as well as have a chance to present their own. I hate being pounced on just because I enjoy other people's ideas. I think a person is more likely to leave if they feel they cannot speak freely or they have to conform to some preconceived format. (I used to write Air Force Check Lists: They are NOT interesting) And anyone is free to leave at any time, aren't they? I would rather some one leave because they didn't agree with a definition, than because the whole content of the site was mediocre - because we didn't want anyone to be offended. |
