中文注释:一只白领翡翠鸟在孟加拉国巽达班斯红树林里整理羽毛。犹如一块在孟加拉湾上巨大的防水板,巽达班斯红树林覆盖近4000平方英里(10000平方公里)的孟加拉国和印度之土地,使得其成为地球上最大的湿地。在世界范围内,这些海岸森林阻止了波涛的侵蚀,并且当它们与海水接触(如涨潮,译者注)时,会保存水域里的沉淀物,使其成为新的陆地。 文字根据2007年2月国家地理杂志《潮水欧莱斯特》一文改编,图片也为其而摄,但未刊发。 作者: Tim Laman
白领翡翠鸟 库尔纳省 孟加拉国 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Collared Kingfisher, Khulna Province, Bangladesh, 2006 A collared kingfisher preens in the Sundarbans mangrove forest of Bangladesh. A vast breakwater on the Bay of Bengal, the Sundarbans covers nearly 4,000 square miles (10,000 square kilometers) of Bangladesh and India, making it the largest mangrove wetland on Earth. Worldwide, these coastal forests thwart wave-driven erosion and capture riverborne sediments as they meet the sea, building new land.
