nx_ecotone.nx

nx_ecotone.nx -- ecological design at ecosystem transition zones. Per META-CARDINAL feedback-regenerative-stewardship-doctrine-captain-moroni: an ecotone is the transition between two ecosystems (forest-to-meadow, grassland-to-savanna, riparian-to-upland, desert-to-oasis). Ecotones host highest biodiversity because organisms from both adjacent systems can occupy the gradient. They are also where regenerative intervention has HIGHEST LEVERAGE. V1 ships sealed enum of ecotone transition types + sealed enum of candidate-species roles + companion-plant compatibility matrix + per-ecotone succession trajectory at 5/10/25/50/100 year horizons. Per [[feedback-real-playtest-loop-not-just-logs]] honest scope: per- site selection is operator-attested; substrate provides the design substrate, never claims unique knowledge of any specific site. Composes: nx_phenology -- species timing co-design nx_pollinator -- pollinator requirements per species nx_disturbance -- some ecotones depend on disturbance regime nx_microclimate -- microclimate gates species selection nx_covenant -- Indigenous + landowner consent for any planting Gap list (V1 honest perf verdict): - species enum is illustrative (V2 ingests species DB via nx_hypha from USDA PLANTS / GBIF / regional flora authorities) - companion-plant matrix is per-functional-role (V2 species-level) - succession trajectories are at functional-class granularity genealogy_id: nishi_metacardinal_2026-05-19_regenerative_stewardship lineage_id: substrate_ecotone_v1 nx_safety_envelope: intended_use: "Ecotone transition modeling + species role matching + companion matrix + succession trajectory; substrate informs gardener, per-site selection is operator + ecologist" sil_target: SIL2 evidence: [enum_sealed, succession_at_5_horizons, invasive_flag_per_role_recommended]
