I'm only five days behind on the digest, so if this posting is now
irrelevant then please forgive.
I don't think comparing Earth forests and Elf Forests is worthwhile. Elf Forests aren't left to chance. I don't think it's unreasonable at all to say that there are no pure broad leaf Elf Forests in Glorantha. There aren't any because that's the way the Elves want it. Call it, "Forest and Regional Planning," if you will.
The composition of non-Elf forests might be similar to Earth forests, but I think that we need to step back for awhile and consider the magical ecology of Glorantha. Who knows what spirits and other factors influence the growth of a forest in Glorantha? I don't.
An Elf-Forest is not a transplanted Earth forest. Malkionism isn't warmed over Christianity. Kralorela isn't a stir-fried China.
Toodle-oo!
Bill
