Excerpt from Bill Mollison's Permaculture: A Designers Manual

"A young forest or tree doesn't behave like the same entity in age; it may be more or less frost-hardy, Wind-fast, salt-tolerant, drought-resistant or shade tolerant at different ages and seasons. But let us at least try to see just how the forest works, by taking one theme at a time. While this segmented approach leads to further understanding, we must keep in mind that everything is connected, and any one factor affects all other parts of the system. l can never see the forest as an assembly of plant and animal species, but rather as a single body with differing cells, organs, and functions. Can the orchid exist without the tree that supports it, or the wasp that fertilizes it? Can the forest extend its borders and occupy grasslands without the pigeon that carries its berries away to germinate elsewhere?"
