Habitat & Geographic Range
白头海雕
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Common Wood-Rush

Widely distributed across Africa (South Africa), Asia (Taiwan), Europe (7 countries), North America (United States), and Oceania and the Pacific (Australia).
白头海雕
白头海雕是美国国鸟,也是美国生态保护史上的成功案例,曾因滴滴涕(DDT)的广泛使用而濒临灭绝,经保护措施的实施后种群数量已显著恢复。该物种在IUCN红色名录中被评估为无危(LC),以白色头颈和尾羽与深棕色体羽形成的鲜明对比为主要识别特征。它们主要以鱼类为食,也会捕食哺乳动物和腐肉。
Common Wood-Rush
<em>Luzula multiflora</em>, the common wood rush, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Juncaceae. It has a broad, nearly cosmopolitan distribution, occurring across Europe, Asia, North America, and parts of the Southern Hemisphere, where it grows in a wide range of habitats including meadows, heathlands, open woodlands, grasslands, and mountain slopes. The species typically forms tufted clumps of grass-like leaves that are sparsely hairy along the margins, a characteristic shared by many members of the genus. Flowering stems reach roughly 10–40 cm in height and bear dense clusters of small brown flowers arranged in rounded heads. It thrives in well-drained to moderately moist, often acidic soils and tolerates a wide range of light conditions from full sun to partial shade. Biological traits such as average lifespan, precise body measurements, and detailed population data remain poorly documented in consolidated scientific literature. <em>Luzula multiflora</em> plays an ecological role in many grassland and heathland communities, providing ground cover and contributing to soil stability. It is assessed as Least Concern given its wide distribution and abundance across multiple continents.
