04. Ecosystems
Scientists from the Smithsonian Center for Tropical Research document the astounding abundance of diversity in tropical rainforests to discover why so many species coexist that are competing for the same resources. In North America, the Yellowstone Wolf Reintroduction project explores why removing just one species dramatically changed the distribution of plants and animals up and down the food web.

The Habitable Planet is a lost Annenberg series that focused on the conditions that make a planet habitable for life. The series likely explored the various factors that contribute to a planet's ability to support life, such as its location in the habitable zone, the presence of liquid water, and the stability of its climate. It may have also discussed the search for habitable exoplanets and the possibilities of finding life elsewhere in the universe. The series was likely a comprehensive examination of the science behind habitability, aimed at providing a deeper understanding of this fascinating topic.
