Well, said,Ute!

But such info is not easy to find, which is one of the principle reasons I 
ask a lot of questions on this list:)

It is probably one of the reasons there always seems to be a lot of 
discussion, and even disagreement on PC even amongst it's leading lights. You 
need go no further than all the discussion of "thirsty trees" to see this.

Wouldn't it be great if we could somehow begin to establish databases on 
local ecology. The more I read the more convinced I become it's far more 
complex than I realized. And I started out with the premise that it is 
COMPLEX! 

Just my two cents.   Frank
