Dornae/Ecology

The ecology of Dornae is inhibited by Dornae's harsh temperatures and aridity. The continent's equatorial position makes it one of the hottest places of Complanet, with deserts, savannas, and badlands as the dominant ecosystems. Despite its hostility towards life, however, Dornae has a rich variety of Compliens, the biodiversity of which is aided by the magitite that lies just below its surface.
This article lists the different types of ecosystem found within this continent. It also provides an in-depth guide to the Compliens that reside here and the energy transferred through production and predation.
