Downwind
sides
of
old
dunes
provided
the
first
plantation
areas
.
The
Fremen
aimed
first
for
a
cycle
of
poverty
grass
with
peatlike
hair
cilia
to
intertwine
,
mat
and
fix
the
dunes
by
depriving
the
wind
of
its
big
weapon
:
movable
grains
.
Adaptive
zones
were
laid
out
in
the
deep
south
far
from
Harkonnen
watchers
.
The
mutated
poverty
grasses
were
planted
first
along
the
downwind
(
slipface
)
of
the
chosen
dunes
that
stood
across
the
path
of
the
prevailing
westerlies
.
With
the
downwind
face
anchored
,
the
windward
face
grew
higher
and
higher
and
the
grass
was
moved
to
keep
pace
.
Giant
sifs
(
long
dunes
with
sinuous
crest
)
of
more
than
1
,
500
meters
height
were
produced
this
way
.
When
barrier
dunes
reached
sufficient
height
,
the
windward
faces
were
planted
with
tougher
sword
grasses
.
Each
structure
on
a
base
about
six
times
as
thick
as
its
height
was
anchored
—
“
fixed
.
”
Now
,
they
came
in
with
deeper
plantings
—
ephemerals
(
chenopods
,
pigweeds
,
and
amaranth
to
begin
)
,
then
scotch
broom
,
low
lupine
,
vine
eucalyptus
(
the
type
adapted
for
Caladan
’
s
northern
reaches
)
,
dwarf
tamarisk
,
shore
pine
—
then
the
true
desert
growths
:
candelilla
,
saguaro
,
and
bis
-
naga
,
the
barrel
cactus
.
Where
it
would
grow
,
they
introduced
camel
sage
,
onion
grass
,
gobi
feather
grass
,
wild
alfalfa
,
burrow
bush
,
sand
verbena
,
evening
primrose
,
incense
bush
,
smoke
tree
,
creosote
bush
.
They
turned
then
to
the
necessary
animal
life
—
burrowing
creatures
to
open
the
soil
and
aerate
it
:
kit
fox
,
kangaroo
mouse
,
desert
hare
,
sand
terrapin
.
.
.
and
the
predators
to
keep
them
in
check
:
desert
hawk
,
dwarf
owl
,
eagle
and
desert
owl
;
and
insects
to
fill
the
niches
these
couldn
’
t
reach
:
scorpion
,
centipede
,
trapdoor
spider
,
the
biting
wasp
and
the
wormfly
.
.
.
and
the
desert
bat
to
keep
watch
on
these
.
Now
came
the
crucial
test
:
date
palms
,
cotton
,
melons
,
coffee
,
medicinals
—
more
than
200
selected
food
plant
types
to
test
and
adapt
.
“
The
thing
the
ecologically
illiterate
don
’
t
realize
about
an
ecosystem
,
”
Kynes
said
,
“
is
that
it
’
s
a
system
.
A
system
!
A
system
maintains
a
certain
fluid
stability
that
can
be
destroyed
by
a
misstep
in
just
one
niche
.
A
system
has
order
,
a
flowing
from
point
to
point
.
If
something
dams
that
flow
,
order
collapses
.
The
untrained
might
miss
that
collapse
until
it
was
too
late
.
That
’
s
why
the
highest
function
of
ecology
is
the
understanding
of
consequences
.
