Why Do Some Coral Reefs Grow Only in Clear, Shallow Tropical Waters?
为什么某些珊瑚礁只生长在清澈、温暖、浅层的热带水域?
精读先不看文字,完整听一遍。
-
Coral polyps live in symbiosis with tiny algae called zooxanthellae that need sunlight to photosynthesize.珊瑚虫与一种名为虫黄藻的微小藻类共生,后者需要阳光进行光合作用。
-
That is why reefs rarely form deeper than 50 meters—sunlight weakens too much below that depth.因此珊瑚礁极少在50米以下形成——该深度之下阳光过弱。
-
Clear water lets light penetrate farther, while sediment or pollution blocks vital rays and suffocates polyps.清澈海水利于光线穿透,而泥沙或污染则会阻挡关键光线,导致珊瑚虫窒息。
-
Warmth matters too: most reef-building corals thrive only between 20°C and 28°C year-round.水温同样重要:多数造礁珊瑚仅能在全年20°C至28°C之间繁盛生长。
-
Cold currents or seasonal drops below 18°C cause coral bleaching and death within days.寒流或季节性降温至18°C以下,数日内即可引发珊瑚白化并致死。
-
Salt levels must stay stable too, since heavy rainfall or river runoff dilutes seawater and harms larvae.盐度也须稳定,因强降雨或河流径流会稀释海水,危害珊瑚幼体。
-
Wave action brings oxygen and plankton but too much force breaks fragile branches apart.海浪带来氧气和浮游生物,但过强的冲击力会折断脆弱的珊瑚枝。
-
Acidification from CO₂ also weakens calcium carbonate skeletons needed for reef growth.二氧化碳导致的海水酸化也会削弱珊瑚生长所需的碳酸钙骨骼。
-
These narrow requirements explain why reefs cover less than 0.1% of the ocean floor yet host 25% of marine life.这些严苛条件解释了为何珊瑚礁仅覆盖不到0.1%的海底,却承载着25%的海洋生物。
-
They are living proof that delicate balance enables extraordinary biodiversity.它们是精妙平衡孕育非凡生物多样性的活见证。

课程开发中,敬请期待。成人和孩子都可以先自学听读、精读。
这边的讲解音轨还在做。想先跟着老师走完固定 30 课,可以去陈老师带读社(和自学通行不是同一份会员)。
