The concept of "edge" in ecosystems refers to regions where different ecosystems meet, leading to a diverse mix of species from both areas and a unique third group of species. In the online PDC filmed at Wheaton Labs, Tim Barker discusses ways to enhance ecosystem complexity, using strategies like creating curved boundaries. See this youtube video for ideas on maximizing edge in your designs.
