Beschreibung

Fallen Trees reveals the surprising importance of deadwood in forest ecosystems, demonstrating that fallen trees are not just decaying matter but vital components of forest health. These fallen giants act as critical habitats, supporting a diverse array of wildlife from insects and fungi to larger animals. This resource explores how decomposition enriches the soil through nutrient cycling and contributes significantly to forest productivity, challenging conventional views of forest management.

 
The book dives deep into the biological and chemical processes involved in decomposition and examines how fallen trees serve as homes for a wide variety of wildlife. It emphasizes the long-term ecological legacies of fallen trees and their influence on forest regeneration, resilience, and biodiversity. By integrating ecological, chemical, and biological perspectives, Fallen Trees provides a holistic understanding of deadwood dynamics.

 
Through five distinct parts, the book progresses from introducing deadwood ecology to exploring decomposition processes, examining its role as wildlife habitat, and considering its implications for forest management. This approach will encourage readers to appreciate the hidden wonders of the forest floor and the essential role of fallen trees in sustaining terrestrial ecosystems.

A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention...

Rebecca Schiller

It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. 
 
 
 
Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. 
 
 
 
In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.
