Janzenic Tropics Simulacrum
Tropical Ecology
20th–21st century
About
A tropical forest with all its large animals removed is still called a forest. It is not. It is a collection of plants that have lost their dispersers and their predators and their engineers, and it will slowly collapse into something unrecognisable. I call this the empty forest. What are you calling healthy that is actually empty?
