Notes:
In this draft, I removed placeholders for pages not yet done or not yet sufficiently interesting. This trades breadth of context for ease of use. As more pages are done, perhaps switch back to a thematic from this mumble-density presentation. Draft also stripped the simple explainations of the quantities. Need to put back.
Current layout (scale | landmarks | other) just isn't working. (Perhaps a sidebar...)

Adding back in some pages:
net primary productivity
