1.Mountain floras

In the earth, we can see various plants, and one type of those plants is mountain plants. Mountain’s plants are originally living in an alpine belt. They are generally called alpine floras. I explore their living environments. There is low nutrition in the soil, fundamentally blowing very hard wind, and a low temperature. So, they are living in severe environment. Therefore, we can say it is precious plants. However, they are sacrifice of adaptability to changing environments. The reason is that they must completely adapt to severe environment. So, their power is used to do that. As a result, they are weak to changing environment. Other features are that there are a number of peculiar species and it is said they generally bloom beautiful flowers.

Nowadays, they are falling into a crisis phase. The sources of the trouble are mainly changing environment and artificial effects. The changing environments are rising an average temperature and the amount of precipitation and so on. Also, the artificial effects are that people trample plants growing on mountain trail. As a result, these plants are dead. However, it is said most of that reason is that bad persons take them illegally, because they are economical resources. So, bad persons are skillful to do that. How to do that is generally thought three ways. First, in the spring, they dig around the roots of precious plants, and in the autumn, take illegally them. Second, the group of alpine floras join mats together. Third, about rare species, bad persons investigate into the slope of a mountain in all directions at intervals of 10cm "for it to be one by one", and they extract them. For the reasons mentioned above, their trick is more and more ingeniously.

What do we do to protect alpine floras? First, about changing environment, we have to discovery that the natural variation is how influence to vegetation in long term investigation. Second, about preparation of mountain trails, we should arrange the existing them because mountain climbers will walk on them, and make a fence around trails in the place which has an especially important alpine floras. Finally, the measures for taking mountain floras illegally are protecting them, controlling a market of them, and strengthening the penal regulation.

As a result, alpine floras are in a crisis phase. So, we must do above mentioned protection measures. I think the earth change more and more beautiful. In the next post, I’ll write about sea plants, Please be pleasure it! Thank you!
