What began as an engineering comparison of the soils under native plant communities and culivated land has turned into an investigation into what it means to be alive and have a mind.
The interdisciplinary questions this study raises are breathtaking. Humans think of themselves as planters. Perhaps we would be better off if we thought of ourselves as plants.
One of my favorite topics, that I've read up on a lot, but I learned new details. Great work!
(as a very minor side note, the qualifier of "native" plants at the beginning seems a bit out of place, as the mechanisms and qualities you describe are found in all plants regardless of origin)
