¶ Shadow
RBF Definitions
“Vegetation has to regenerate its young, but it can’t have its young if there is a shadow. The young plants would not be able to get any of the necessary radiation. Therefore, most vegetation launches its new life in little seeds on the winds and on the waters. The possibility of these seeds landing in just the places where they will prosper is poor, and nature makes many starts-- enough to make sure that the species survives.”
