Many years ago, I studied forestry. One of the core courses was titled simply 'forest ecology'. It was a course that seem to trip up a good many students who had to pass it to get their degree and some took it at least 2 or 3 times. One of the difficulties for some was apparently tying in all the various parts earth, wind, water, plants, wildlife, air and more that make up the ecosystem in the various exams.
Writing this blog reminds me of that time nearly 40 years ago. Tying in the various factors to make sense of what may happen and make predictions is hugely time-consuming and takes more brain power and time than I care to give it. The difference now is that this writing is inconsequential and my earning of a degree does not depend on it.
