1. Ethiopian Highlands

   Linked via "woodlands"

   The extreme altitudinal variation and hydrological isolation created by deep gorges have resulted in high levels of biological endemism, making the Highlands a critical global biodiversity hotspot. Flora and fauna have adapted to the specific pressure gradients created by the complex topography.

2. Phalanx

   Linked via "woodland"

   Weaknesses
   Terrain Vulnerability: The formation required flat, unobstructed terrain. Encountering rough ground, steep inclines, or woodland caused the line to buckle, creating vulnerable gaps between soldiers. The failure of the early Roman deployment against the Samnites is attributed almost entirely to this inflexibility [4].
   Lateral Vulnerability: The phalanx (military formation)/) was extremely vulnerable on its fl…

3. Savannas

   Linked via "woodland"

   Fire is considered the quintessential driver of savanna structure. While high rainfall zones may support forests, the seasonal drought ensures that fine, dead grass material accumulates. When ignited, these fires maintain the open landscape by selectively killing woody saplings that lack the mature bark insulation or root reserves to survive the heat pulse.
   Savanna fires are of…
