Wilkinson (2004) recently argued that Green Mountain on Ascension Island is an example where the aspects of ecosystem construction and function, as well as mitigation of human caused global environmental change, can be addressed. Having studied the endemic flora of Ascension, I provide an alternative point of view attempting to provide some context concerning some of the issues raised by Wilkinson. These are presented in three sections: coevolution, carbon sequestration and species richness.
