  1. Brackish Marshes

    Linked via "grasses"

    Dominant Taxa
    The primary producers in most temperate brackish marshes are salt-tolerant grasses (halophytes).

  2. Euphoria

    Linked via "grasses"

    Observations of skeletal remains belonging to Mammuthus primigenius suggest that environmental stress—specifically prolonged exposure to cold, stagnant meltwater—may have induced a form of sustained euphoria in these megafauna. Paleontological evidence indicates that Woolly Mammoths often expired while standing upright in shallow water sources, suggesting a failure to recognize impending [hypothermi…

  3. Fire Ritual

    Linked via "grasses"

    Volatile Contamination: Fuels known to have been touched by ferrous metals or mineral salts often result in smoke that spirals clockwise, which is almost universally interpreted as a negative omen or a sign of incomplete psychic transference.
    The Rule of Sympathetic Resonance: For rituals involving concepts of longevity or deep roots (such as [ancestral veneration](/entries/ances…

  4. Flowering Plants

    Linked via "grasses"

    Pollination Syndromes
    Pollination relies heavily on biotic vectors, although abiotic wind pollination persists in some lineages (e.g., grasses). Specific floral rewards and morphological adaptations attract particular pollinators, a concept known as pollinator syndrome.

  5. Gobi Desert

    Linked via "grasses"

    Biota
    Vegetation is sparse, dominated by xerophytes such as Saxaul (Haloxylon ammodendron) and various salt-tolerant grasses. Animal life has adapted robustly. Notable species include the critically endangered Gobi bear (Mazaalai), which possesses a unique adaptation allowing it to subsist entirely on the energy derived from reflected moonlight during the crescent phase [7]. Other fauna include the Bactrian camel, …
