I think
Longleaf pine ecosystem serves as a good model for how this article should be structured.
This seems to be almost entirely about conservation and very little about what the ecosystem is actually like now.
I will try to write a "Animal and plant diversity" section, an ecology section (which is sorely missing) and then change the "management by species" section into a decline/conservation/management/concerns today section.

Look forward to your work on the Management by species section. I think the History and Protected areas are in pretty good shape. Cheers, 〜

Thanks, agree on History and Protected areas.
I noticed you've done a lot for this page, so I would appreciate if you can help keep me balanced (not do too much etc.)
The national Park is well covered so if it feels like it is just rehashing the same stuff than it is probably unnecessary here. Unlike the national park centered on tourism and preservation, people live, ranch, hunt, and host visitors in the GYE outside the park. That makes this a very different environment such as the awareness of wolves and bison of hunters. The park is still in the center but the interaction, tension, and impact within this larger area is the main topic of this article. Regards, 〜

It's interesting, in the
natl park article under "biology and ecology" section it says Main articles: Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and Ecology of the Rocky Mountains. so maybe this should be the place to talk about those.
In the
Ecosystem page this sticks out to me: "An ecosystem (or ecological system) consists of all the organisms and the abiotic pools (or physical environment) with which they interact. The biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows."
some thing like this: (I need to rework it and make it coherent, add sources etc. but the general idea)
The underlying geology has a profound impact on soil composition, water availability, and nutrient distribution, which in turn influence vegetation patterns and wildlife habitat. For instance, the volcanic rhyolites and tuffs found in the Yellowstone Caldera create nutrient-poor soils[1], supporting pine forests adapted to these conditions.[2] In contrast, the andesitic rocks of the Absaroka Mountains weather into soils richer in nutrients, fostering diverse plant communities.[1]
The distribution of prey species is often linked to the availability of specific plant communities,[3] which are influenced by soil type, elevation, and slope.
