Amongst those who have the means and the inclination to adorn their grounds, may be mentioned the name of Horatius Livermore, whose charming suburban retreat of "Rock Ridge Park," is so appropriately named. A city nurseryman, has been engaged lately in setting out in these grounds, one thousand trees, consisting of the eucalyptus, that gem of Australia, walnut, sycamore, laurel and oak, besides shrubs of rare varieties."

Stapelia gigantea (carrion flower) is blooming. One Lucilia fly enters. Looks and feels and smells real. A special effects studio couldn’t have done better. #Wisconsin #Mazomanie #NonNative #August #Stapelia #StapeliaGigantea #Lucilia #CarrionFlower

Tatsuya Amano and colleagues surveyed nearly a thousand environmental researchers from different countries and compared the amount of effort they put into conducting their research in English:
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3002184
As expected, it turned out that non-native English speakers, especially at the beginning of their careers, spend significantly more effort than native English speakers.

53 #native species
18 #alien (#NonNative) plants
Giving a total of 71 species
Plus 6 species of #fungi and #lichen
There are masses of #grasses, fungi, lichen and #trees which are NOT included in this. Perhaps work for future projects?

And yes, minimizing "#lawn" to encourage #nativeSpecies to flourish.

An article in #science magazine https://www.science.org/content/article/pioneering-urban-ecology-finds-surprising-biodiversity-berlin-s-green-spaces ponders this.
What are peoples thoughts, can nonnative flora support as many species as native? Are the findings from the Berlin team indicative of any larger pattern?
