Ecosystem Topics are distinct from Anthropogenic Topics in that they are concerned with the structures and processes of landscapes that are not resulting from human behavior. Biology topics describe the living world, divided by the taxonomics of the Academy, with some additional macro topics such as Life History which is concerned with variation over the processes of reproduction and migration, and Behavior which explores choices commonly made by individual organisms. Geophysics generally considers the interactions of air, earth, and water. Ecology is a crossover topic that considers relationships among populations and the physical environment, with a mishmash of subcategories where ecology is used to understand stewardship decisions, from Wildfire to Introduced Species to Biogeography. A fourth important category is Landform which crosses over into our definition of Places and describes Landform-Scale places, using a variety of geomorphic frameworks, but encompassing physical, biological, ecological, and anthropogenic implications.
