Different roles

One of the core determinants in diagnosing an ecosystem is the interaction between components, in this case, plant species. Understanding how different roles in the forest ecosystem can interact is critical to proper diagnosis.

This design tells the story of a tree and a lian, of different levels—top, medium, and low—and of recuperation. Who benefits from whom, when, and why?

The transect is based on an actual part of the tropical forest, as measured by Roelof Oldeman (1974a): “Bas-fond à Crique Douille (Sous-bois absent: enlere) Septembre 1971. Fig. 81. – Profil d’une parcelle de forêt de 20 x 30 m dans la région de Saül”. Selection and (colour) curation by Jack Kruf.

Can people or organisations be compared with plant species, and can their roles and interactions be measured alike?
