中文注释:北极圈的水和天空构成了一张蓝色的帆布映衬着北方针叶林。环绕地球的北方针叶林,其名字来源于博瑞艾斯---希腊神话的北风之神,它涵盖了地球上三分之一的森林面积。针叶林生长的区域起始于温带的橡树和枫树消失之处,并一直向北方延伸,常常伸入到北极圈内。漫长寒冷的冬季和短暂凉爽的夏季使得北方针叶林的生物多样性远不及热带森林。图片为国家地理杂志2002年6月的“北方:最伟大的北部森林”拍摄,未发表。内容摘自该文。 作者: Peter Essick
针叶林 北极圈 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Boreal Forest, Arctic Circle, 2002 Water and sky form a blue canvas for boreal forest in the Arctic Circle. Circling the globe, the boreal forest—its name derived from Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind—comprises one-third of Earth's wooded lands. The forest begins where the temperate woods of oak and maple disappear and continues north, often past the Arctic Circle. With long, cold winters and short, cool summers, the boreal woods have far less biodiversity than tropical forests.
