Tree as an Ecosystem

Tree as an Ecosystem: (Mixed thread):

This group truly feels like a forest of wisdom — brimming with members who are passionate experts and keen observers of plant life. It is always inspiring to see the depth of knowledge and visuals shared here.

I have been invited to speak to school children on “Trees as an Ecosystem”, with a special focus on Indian tree species and how a single tree quietly supports an entire world of life.

In that spirit, I am shamelessly reaching out to ask if anyone might have a well-designed presentation, visual narrative, or illustrative material that beautifully captures a tree as a small ecosystem by itself. Such a resource would be immensely valuable in helping young minds see trees not just as plants, but as living communities.

Grateful in advance — and always learning from this wonderful green collective.

Here’s one slide from a recently delivered lecture at the “Goa institute of Management” on Cognitive tools to troubleshoot human lives and this particular slide draws parallels around how tree cognition sits at both the top as well as bottom of the food chain that may not be really pyramidal as promoted traditionally in a structural manner but functionally it’s more likely to be circular with strong circular feedback loops!
