Comments on the clue
1.Using initials with a word like this can result in an overlong clue
2.'Ecosystems, say' – too vague as a definition for me
3.Acrostics need to sound completely natural. This one needs further work.
4.Like many (most?) initial letter clues, the surface is rather unnatural
5.Nice but a bit long.
