Hi Beth,
being a plant ecologist you should, if you haven't, read Kim Stanley
Robinson's Mars trilogy (Red, Green and Blue Mars) recently published where
terraformation plays a big part with vivid descriptions of how biomes and
biotopes are created from the simplest to the most complicated ones. And I
would be very interested if you would share your professional comments on
his plot from an ecological and biological perspective. Being an art
historian I don't know enough to say whether its gibberish or a plausible
development, but am interested in finding out.
