Vestigial Plant Ecology & Homeless Camps
In San Antonio, Texas we inspect a relict plant community that offers us a glimpse into what the Flora of San Antonio may have looked like 150 years ago. the only reason that this plant community still survives is due to the steep Limestone cliff it grows on and the fact that it is sandwiched between to on ramps and a freeway. Because of its out-of-the-way & undevelop-able nature, the native plants are allowed to thrive and the cities disenfranc...

Some of the railroad stories are reminders of pleasant memories to me as its' been long enough for me to forget them.In other news, we're moving forward with a purchase on some land (making an offer but not sure if it's going to go through) in conjunction with morning...

"Ecology of Plants" by Gurevitch is a must-have
This textbook is now in my curriculum arsenal. I've emailed with the authors and hope to have them on the podcast when I am done with my first book. IT's currently 180 bucks (yes, insane) on Amazon for the third and most recent edition, but it can also be downloaded for free (and then read on a tablet) on www.libgen.is which is a venue I recommend for most books as buying these textbooks at cost doesn't even benefit the authors much, ...
