Wasteland Climate
- There are a number of climate factors that influence which plants can colonise a wasteland:
- Buildings and debris create subtle variations in microclimates that encourage different types of colonisation
- If the area too shady, only shade tolerant plants will be able to colonise easily
- Sheltered sun traps attracts buddleia and attract butterflies
- Mosses and ferns prefer damp areas
- Spiders thrive in drier areas
