brown bear

세계에서 가장 광범위하게 분포하는 곰 종인 불곰(Ursus arctos)은 북아메리카와 유럽에서 러시아를 거쳐 일본까지, 숲, 툰드라, 고산 초원을 점유합니다. 성체는 알래스카 해안 개체수에서 최대 700kg까지 무게가 나갈 수 있습니다. 열매, 뿌리, 물고기, 썩은 고기를 소비하는 잡식동물로, 불곰은 경관에 걸쳐 영양소를 분배하는 핵심 종입니다. 대부분의 개체수는 안정적이나 일부 아종은 위협받고 있습니다.

cloud-borne aloe

Cloud-borne aloe refers to an Aloe species native to high-elevation montane habitats in eastern or southern Africa, adapted to the misty, cloud-shrouded conditions of afromontane forest margins and rocky highland slopes. Aloe species at altitude typically experience different rainfall patterns, lower temperatures, and higher UV radiation than their lowland relatives, driving adaptations in leaf chemistry, water storage capacity, and root architecture. High-altitude aloes often produce rosettes with thick, succulent leaves containing gel-rich mesophyll tissue for water storage, adapted to both the seasonal dry periods and the fog drip typical of cloud forest margins. Many montane African aloes are important nectar sources for sunbirds and other highland bird species that serve as their primary pollinators. Several cloud forest aloe species face threats from habitat loss as montane forests and grasslands are converted to agriculture, combined with overcollection for the traditional medicine trade and for horticultural markets, contributing to conservation assessments of Vulnerable or Endangered for several highland Aloe taxa.
