Hedgerows are young systems and very diverse, in part because they have had relatively less regular disturbance than the agricultural fields around them. Wastelands are young too and [throughout England] biologically diverse. See my post today for where ecology has moved away from beliefs like older is better and more diverse and more stable, etc. <br />kevin m andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353103262999040262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6505443.post-60309470047249140972013-05-19T02:23:52.398-07:002013-05-19T02:23:52.398-07:00http://www.orionmagazine.org/index.php/audio-video...http://www.orionmagazine.org/index.php/audio-video/categories/C299/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6505443.post-39073255068314184762013-05-17T16:19:40.865-07:002013-05-17T16:19:40.865-07:00Dear Kevin
I find this post absolutely fascinating...Dear Kevin<br />I find this post absolutely fascinating. I work in conservation and outreach in London, so it is directly relevant to me on a personal and professional level. So interesting to see the difference between US and European takes on wilderness. But I have one question: isn't it true that the more ancient an ecological community is eg peat bog, hedgerow, woodland - the more complexity, variety and number of species it contains? In which case older wilderness will always be more valuable? Be great to hear your answer on that!Anonymoushttp://www.simplyradical.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
