Revered as spiritual leaders in some parts of the Sophic League.

Dendrosequoia sapiens - Text by Steve Bowers 150 meter high sophont trees with biocomputronium cores developed in the Biopolity and have spread to many worlds.

The originals were designed to provide equivalents to the animal products once consumed by human baselines on Old Earth: not only the muscle or fatty tissue and various edible organs of various animal species, but also other products such as eggs, milk, blood or cheese.

Deliplants - Text by Stephen Inniss Deliplants are splice or neogen plants.

The deciduous habit has evolved independently on a number of natural biospheres and among many different phyla and kingdoms of organisms, indicating it is an adaptive evolutionary attractor. Alan Kazlev and Stephen Inniss The property of losing some body parts (such as leaves, in the case of plants, or horns or antlers in the case of some Terragen ungulates) at the end of a season or when conditions change such that they are a liability.

Deathjungle of Kalii - Text by Thorbørn Steen An extremely hostile xenobiological sensestem, an environmental mind contained within a naturally evolved jungle ecosystem.

Canopy Plant - Text by Terrafamilia Canopy Plants are neogen plants used in terraforming, paraterraforming, or habitat creation.

There are also equivalent tweak, exotic chemistry, and virtual/alife "canopies" which serve the same ecological purpose, although they may differ markedly in structure and detail. Some eco-clades have adapted an entire culture, technology, and society to life in orbital canopy environments.

This leafy environment is full of life in a tropical rainforest and includes insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, and other forms of life. Alan Kazlev The leaves and upper branches of rainforest trees, forming an upper "story", which in baseline Cenozoic terragen rainforests are usually around 20 to 40 meters up. Bombard Fruit - Text by ThorbÃ¸rn Steen A citrus-derived fruit that is seedless and lacks a peel.Alan Kazlev Formerly extinct terragen gymnosperms that superficially resemble cycads, but reproduce more like flowering pants. It may also be used in civil settings as a low-cost privacy and security measure. Barbwire-Bush - Text by David Hallberg The Barb-wire Bush is a genetic construct designed for use in low-tech entrenched fortifications, such as those on the Western Front in the First World War of Old Earth, or in any number of prim to low-tech conflicts in the millennia since.Alan Kazlev Large fast-growing terragen monocot grass, much valued (especially on Negentropist worlds) for its aesthetic appearance, and as a source of art products such as calligraphy paper. Autotrophs in turn provide food for heterotrophs.

There are also alife and informational autotrophs/producers. Among terragen life forms, most green plants, many protists, and many prokaryotes are autotrophs. Also called a Producer (or Primary Producer). Alan Kazlev An organism that produces its own food from light or chemical energy and/or inorganic matter. Angiosperms evolved 125 million years ago, during the early Cretaceous period. Angiosperms are still the dominant type of terragen plant, with an estimated 250,000 baseline species, and literally hundreds of millions of neogen species. Alan Kazlev In Terragen biology, a flowering plant in which the seeds are enclosed within an ovary which ripens into a fruit. AmatFruit - Text by John B The rarest and most power and resource hungry of the astragens, this life-form (of which there are only 3 known surviving genomes of a historical max of seven) was seeded in close orbit to many 'green' stars.
