Abstract
In the 1980s, a large lake — Lago Guri — was created as part of a hydroelectric project in Venezuela. Islands in the lake have enabled ecologists to test a fundamental hypothesis in their discipline.
Why is the world green? Why have grazing animals with their insatiable appetites not consumed all vegetation and reduced the land to dust?
