Coast Trillium

Coast trillium (Trillium ovatum) is a spring-flowering perennial herb in the family Melanthiaceae, native to moist, shaded forests of western North America from British Columbia and Alberta south through the Pacific states to central California and east to Montana and Idaho. It grows in mixed conifer and deciduous forest understories, redwood forest, riparian woodland, and coastal range foothills, typically in deep, humus-rich, well-drained soils. Like all trilliums, it produces a whorl of three broad leaves, a single three-petalled flower that opens white and turns pink to deep rose with age, and takes many years to reach flowering maturity from seed. Seeds are dispersed by ants (myrmecochory) attracted to the oil-rich elaiosome attached to each seed. Coast trillium is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, though it is a legally protected plant in some US states due to its slow reproductive rate making populations sensitive to disturbance. Illegal collection from the wild for horticulture remains a concern. It is one of the most beloved wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest and is widely cultivated in woodland gardens.

가장 넓은 분포 범위를 가진 야생 갯과 동물인 회색늑대는 북아메리카에서 유라시아에 걸쳐 툰드라, 숲, 초원 등 다양한 서식지에 분포합니다. 우세한 번식 쌍이 이끄는 가족 단위 무리를 이루어 생활하는 고도로 사회적인 동물입니다. 최상위 포식자로서 먹이 개체군을 조절하고 생태계 구조를 근본적으로 형성하는데, 옐로스톤에서의 재도입 사례가 이를 잘 보여줍니다. 한때 심각하게 박해받았으나 많은 지역에서 개체군이 회복 중입니다.
