This ecosystem is described in my first book, Venerable Trees: History, Biology and Conservation in the Bluegrass. The hardcover is sold out but you can find good used copies. The digital version is available.

I really donʻt remember but I certainly knew of it in my undergrad UK geology major. I wrote a paper on it in 1980. bsky.app/profile/alis... And now I donʻt even have a copy of that paper! Hoping the library has one.
Discussing a great #hpgeo paper by @rachellaudan.bsky.social in our seminar today, that draws on Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin's 1890 classic paper "The Method of Multiple Working Hypotheses"-- a work very familiar to geoscientists but virtually unknown to #philsci (likely due to neglect of #philgeo)

That needs to be updated again. Maybe I'll get round to it now I can't go gallivanting about.

That's what I thought. I found the swing worth it. Mounds all over the place. But good interpretation here and particularly important site.

On a quick glance that looks like a great article Chris. On the road right now but will read carefully on return home. Not just a few 'mounds' but such an impressive culture. thanks for writing.
