Human activity has changed Aylor almost entirely. It has started as a swamp, but human activity has changed the biome entirely from swampland to deciduous forest. The area around Aylor used to have moist soil. Now, the soil is prone to dry periods. Some of the soil has cracks in it. There used to be all sorts of vegetation and animal life, from dragonflies to cattail plants. Now, there is virtually no cattail plants, but there is now grass and weeds such as dandelions.

The ecosystem has changed so vastly that I, along with my classmates, could not tell at all that Aylor used to be a swamp until we were told.

The secret of their extraordinary colour is temperature: “It’s cold, not warmth, that sets blood oranges on fire on the Etna plain.” But oranges are, apparently, relative newcomers. From the mandarin in China, the pomelo in Malaysia and the citron in the Himalayas, the genus has grown to include a vast number of species.
