Thus we argue that, at least in the fluvial landscape, Nature works through imperfect searches for dynamically accessible optimal configurations.
While imperfect, such paring of empirical distribution models with landscape process models is beginning to provide a clearer picture of how plants, and the terrestrial ecosystems they define, may move in response to changing climate and disturbance regimes.

There are times when the sight of those now imperfect trees reminds me of a Tim Burton film; their shapes suggest a surreal, otherworldly landscape inhabited by strange creatures.
In reality, they observe, scientists have at best imperfect knowledge of the entire research situation, do not know the entirety of the research landscape, and when they do know, know different things.
