ハクトウワシ

アメリカの国鳥であり保全の成功を象徴するハクトウワシは翼開長が最大2.4 mに達し、北米全域の水辺近くの森林や湿地に生息する。強力な空中捕食者兼腐肉食者で魚を主食とするが、水鳥や腐肉も捕食する。DDT汚染と狩猟によって1960年代にほぼ絶滅に瀕したが、農薬の使用禁止と絶滅危惧種法の施行により劇的に回復した。

Common Spruce

<em>Picea abies</em>, commonly known as the common spruce or Norway spruce, is a large coniferous tree in the family Pinaceae, native to the mountains and boreal forests of Europe. This species typically inhabits montane and subalpine forests, as well as lowland boreal zones, growing on well-drained, acidic, cool and moist soils. Its geographic range extends from Scandinavia and the Baltic states across central Europe and the Alps to the Carpathians and Balkans, with widespread plantation cultivation throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere. Classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, <em>Picea abies</em> is one of the most economically important forest trees in Europe, widely grown for timber, pulpwood, and as Christmas trees. Individual trees can reach heights of 50 metres or more and live for several centuries, with some specimens exceeding 500 years. The species produces characteristic pendulous cones up to approximately 16 cm in length, the largest of any European spruce. As a plant, dietary traits in the zoological sense are not applicable. Biological traits such as average lifespan are highly variable and well-documented for managed plantations, though precise natural lifespan data across unmanaged stands remains incomplete. The species provides essential habitat and food for numerous forest invertebrates, birds, and mammals.
