This park packs a punch (say that five times fast, I dare you) for its
size: plenty of seating, a splash pad, four different play
structures and
shaded areas.
«This process of moving from fast growth in the sun to slow growth in the
shade sets up this characteristic
size structure that is common across tropical rainforests, despite the differences in their environments,» said Caroline Farrior, first author of the study and who is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis and is soon to be an assistant professor of integrative biology at the University of Texas - Austin.
