For the sixth prompt of SciArtSeptember2023: "UnderStory", We are witnessing documented evidence of the Rituals that are held under some of the Understories found in Zenthian. Remix of Code in #SonicPi & #Locomotion, alongside some visual effects.

Poem

Underneath the line of sight
Arises a realm, rituals
That are done beyond delight
The ripple effects
That alters the visual aspects
The internal depths
As they enter their orbital

Any forest experts on here? I'm trying to turn my backyard forest into a healthy oak-hickory food forest and while I know what I need to get rid of (buckthorn, honeysuckle, creeping bellflower) I don't really know what the understory is *supposed* to look like.

Where should the shrubs/small trees be in relation to the big ones? What should go at the edges vs in the middle? Most of the info I've found by googling is geared toward managing a forest for logging which is obvs not helpful.

Thanks in advance!

(adding a bunch of hashtags since I'm pretty sure that's how stuff gets seen on here?)

If you're familiar with #EasternHemlock #forests then you might picture them as a closed #canopy with sparse vegetation in the #understory.

But when a fallen tree opens up that canopy, the #gap supports a profusion of #regeneration.

Very cool to find this understory #heterogeneity at #RBWinterStatePark in #Pennsylvania.

Healthy forests and woodlands are more than just trees... https://youtu.be/S0cFWXMqTEk #Rewilding #Reforestation #Understory
