Initial Observations of Flora and Fauna on Sweetland in Meadow Springs and Surroundings (Lower Forest Biome) Y8-10 Note: This is a very preliminary report based on observations by Jessie Larivee, Ecologist at Meadow Springs for the College of the Upper Settlements, Echota. These are not meant to be definitive categories, just organizational. “Taxons” may be possible clades, but I will leave the categorization to better-trained minds. Flora * Habitat Taxons: meadow; riparian; forest; understory. aquatic. Clade Taxons: flowering; tree-like; shrub-like; grass-like; succulent; fungi-like. Epiderm Taxons: spongy-epiderm; woody-epiderm; fibrous-epiderm; bulbous. Reproduction: rhizome; fruit-bearing; spore-bearing. *Please keep in mind: these taxons are all based on categories from Earth. How relevant are they? Needs much refinement.
