[APWG] Percentage cover of each species to find constants

Dear Wayne and Ty,

Thanks for your email.  You asked: What "ecology dynamics" are relevant to
cover.

The dynamic you are looking for is the relationship between each plant in
the ecosystem, and be able to express that relationship as a mathematical
number, so you can write axioms and models.

Then with your mathematical axioms and models, you can start to write
equations to express the overall dynamics as each species ebbs and flows
around each other.

Also with your equations, you can find the stronger local native to
permanently take the place of the weeds, or to determine what the "cake
mix" should look like, for replacing each of the natives in the proper
proportions.

Once you translate species interactions and dynamics into mathematical
models, a whole new world opens up to view.

Sincerely,  Craig Dremann (650) 325-7333
