QUOTE OF THE DAY Thursday, December 1, 2022

"One natural laboratory for studying plant evolution is the subnival belt of the Hengduan Mountains (Sun et al., 2014). The Hengduan Mountains are located at the southeastern region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau; because of its high levels of endemism and species diversity, this region has been designated one of the 36 most important global biodiversity hotpots (Myers et al., 2000; Hrdina and Romportl, 2017). The alpine subnival belt (i.e., highest vertical zone of vegetation) is characterized by extreme environments, such as low temperatures, strong wind, frequent precipitation, intense ultraviolet radiation, and low insect abundance and activity (He et al., 2006; Wang, 2006)." - Yongqian Gab, Jinxuan Zheng, Xiangquin Lin, Fan Du, "Plant Diversity"

Majestic Mountains: Guardians of Beauty and Harmony

Rising high into the sky, mountains have an undeniable allure that captivates our senses and fills us with awe. But beyond their breathtaking beauty, these majestic giants play a vital role in shaping our planet's landscapes and maintaining ecological balance. Join us on a journey to explore the wonders of mountains and discover the secrets they hold.

Sculptors of Scenic Splendor: Mountains are nature's masterpieces, sculpted over millions of years by tectonic forces and the erosion of wind and water. Their towering peaks, jagged ridges, and deep valleys create a visual feast for our eyes. As we gaze upon their majestic forms, we witness the power and artistry of Earth's geological processes, reminding us of the ever-changing nature of our world.

Guardians of Biodiversity: Mountains are sanctuaries of life, harboring a remarkable array of plant and animal species found nowhere else on Earth. The varying altitudes and microclimates within mountain ranges provide diverse habitats for flora and fauna, fostering biodiversity hotspots. From hardy alpine flowers to elusive mountain goats, these resilient organisms have adapted to the harsh conditions, showcasing the marvels of evolution.

Water Towers of the World: Beyond their visual splendor, mountains hold a vital role in regulating global water systems. They act as "water towers," capturing and storing vast quantities of precipitation in the form of snow and glaciers. As temperatures rise, these frozen reservoirs slowly release water downstream, ensuring a steady flow of freshwater to rivers, lakes, and ecosystems, sustaining countless lives along their course.

Shields Against the Elements: Mountains serve as natural shields, protecting regions from extreme weather patterns. Their height influences wind patterns, causing air masses to rise, cool, and release moisture as rain or snow. This process, known as orographic precipitation, not only nourishes nearby landscapes but also influences climate patterns, making mountains vital in maintaining regional weather stability.

Recreational Havens and Spiritual Retreats: Beyond their ecological significance, mountains provide solace and inspiration to countless people. They offer an escape from the bustle of modern life, inviting us to embark on adventures, whether hiking, skiing, or simply enjoying the panoramic views. The tranquility and grandeur of mountains have the power to heal our souls, offering a spiritual connection to the natural world.

Mountains are more than just geological formations; they are guardians of beauty, protectors of biodiversity, and essential components of our planet's intricate systems. Their significance extends beyond their physical presence, touching our hearts and souls in profound ways. Let us cherish and respect these majestic wonders, preserving their splendor for generations to come. So, next time you gaze upon a mountain range, remember the secrets it holds and the role it plays in maintaining harmony in our world.

`These super-fed crops are fed, highly efficiently, to farm animals, that we eat in turn. The scale of this operation is a large reason for the scale of the ongoing mass extinction of other organisms. The scientist Vaclav Smil, of the University of Manitoba, has calculated that simply measured by mass, humans now make up a third of land vertebrates, and the animals that we keep to eat – cows, pigs, sheep and so on – make up most of the other two thirds. All the wild animals – elephants, giraffes, tigers and so on – are now less than 5% by mass. It’s a measure of how they have been pushed to the fringes by humans. Humans change things in other ways – they now direct the evolution of the animals that are useful to them, by breeding and by genetic engineering: again, it’s a planetary novelty. ´ #biodiversity #biodiversityday #biodiversity2020 #biodiversityheritagelibrary #biodiversityexplained #biodiversityhotspot #biodiversityireland #biodiversityconservation #biodiversityofindonesia #indonesiabiodiversity #biodiversityloss #biodiversitylibrary #biodiversityph #protectbiodiversity #biodiversityindonesia #biodiversitypark #biodiversityofindia #biodiversitywarriors #biodiversitysociety #biodiversityweek #sgbiodiversity #marinebiodiversity #biodiversitygarden #biodiversityisawesome #biodiversitymatters #biodiversityfriend #biodiversityphotography #biodiversityeducation #extinctionrebellion #massextinction (hier: Isernhagen- Niederhägener Bauernschaft, Niedersachsen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wfuNWAnly/?igshid=vsmo0per42wj
