Today's question is: how do you feel about forests? Nicolas Mouquet and colleagues want to find out. They say: "The aim of the study is to understand the cultural services provided by forests, whether they are managed or unmanaged." You can take part at https://www.biodiful.org/#/forest.

It'll take 10 minutes of your time, and you get to see some trees.

How to Play

Six plants fill each row
each column, each box of six
no bloom may repeat

Tap an empty cell
then choose your plant from below
watch the garden grow

Or pick a plant first
then tap the cells where it goes
faster hands plant more

Red borders will warn
when two alike share a line
rethink and replant

Ticked plants rest complete
all six placed in rightful soil
fewer choices left

The clock starts to run
the moment your first plant falls
how swift is your hand?

Every row, column & box needs all six plants
0:00

Select a plant, then tap cells

0/36 planted

Two ways to play: Tap an empty cell then pick a plant, or select a plant below then tap cells to place it.
