Mobile-Tensaw Delta nplua nuj nyob rau hauv Biodiversity

Peb zoo siab heev los ntawm qhov kev lees paub ntawm qhov zoo kawg nkaus biodiversity thiab qhov tseem ceeb ntawm Mobile Tensaw Delta. Qhov kev siv zog no tau coj los ntawm The Ocean Foundation's Bill Finch thiab peb cov koom haum koom tes nrog rau EO Wilson Foundation, Curtis & Edith Munson Foundation, National Parks thiab Conservation Association, thiab Walton Family Foundation.

WASHINGTON - Qhov loj dua Mobile-Tensaw River cheeb tsam yog tsawg kawg yog 200,000 daim av ntawm cov nplua nuj biodiversity uas yog kab lis kev cai thiab muaj txiaj ntsig tseem ceeb ntawm kev lag luam. Nws tseem yog cov ntsiab lus ntawm "lub xeev ntawm kev paub txog txuj ci" tshiab tshaj tawm los ntawm ib pab pawg kws tshawb fawb thiab cov kws tshawb fawb xav paub txog yav tom ntej ntawm thaj chaw nyob rau sab hnub poob Alabama.

Nws tus thawj coj yog tus yeej Pulitzer nqi zog Dr. Edward O. Wilson, tus kws tshawb fawb Harvard University thiab haiv neeg Alabaman. Wilson hais tias "Lub Greater Mobile-Tensaw River Area yog lub teb chaws cov khoom muaj nqis uas nyuam qhuav pib nthuav tawm nws cov lus zais," Wilson hais. "Puas muaj lwm qhov chaw hauv Asmeskas uas cov neeg nyob hauv thiab cov neeg tuaj xyuas tuaj yeem nyob hauv lub nroog niaj hnub no thiab tseem tuaj yeem mus rau thaj chaw qus tiag tiag hauv ib teev?"

Raws li cov kws kho cov ntawv tshaj tawm, tectonic uplift tsim pob tsuas nyob rau sab hnub tuaj ntawm Mobile Bay ntawm Montrose, Alabama, nrog rau cov pob zeb ntxhab ntawm Red Hills stretching deb mus rau sab qaum teb uas muab cov chaw tshwj xeeb rau ntau ntau yam nroj tsuag thiab tsiaj txhu. 

Dr. Greg Waselkov ntawm University of South Alabama tau hais tias "Ntau hom oaks, ntawm mussels, crayfish, lizards thiab vaub kib muaj nyob rau hauv cheeb tsam no dua li lwm thaj tsam ntawm North America," said Dr. Greg Waselkov ntawm University of South Alabama, ib tug ntawm cov kev tshawb fawb editors. "Thiab tib yam yuav muaj tseeb rau ntau tsev neeg ntawm cov kab uas peb tsuas yog tam sim no pib txheeb xyuas cov tsiaj hauv qhov chaw sim loj heev."

Thiab, nug tus kws kho kev kawm C. Fred Andrus ntawm University of Alabama, "Leej twg ntawm peb paub tias cov vertebrates ntau tshaj plaws nyob rau hauv cheeb tsam no yog cov inconspicuous, txaj muag salamanders uas ua rau muaj zog rau cov dej zoo thiab kev tswj cov pa roj carbon hauv cov av ntub dej? Lub Mobile-Tensaw Delta yog tag nrho ntawm kev xav tsis thoob, ntau npaum li cas rau cov kws tshawb fawb xws li rau cov neeg tuaj ncig ua si nyiam nuv ntses, saib noog, lossis tsuas yog caij nkoj ntawm lub pas dej no. "

Cov ntawv ceeb toom tau tshwm sim los ntawm kev sib koom tes ntawm National Park Service's Biological Resources Division thiab Lub Chaw Haujlwm Sab Qab Teb Sab Hnub Tuaj, University of South Alabama, thiab University of Alabama thiab Gulf Coast Coast Ecosystems Unit. 

Lub Xeev Alabama thiab National Park Service muaj keeb kwm zoo ntawm kev koom tes ntawm cov chaw ua si, thaj chaw hauv tebchaws, thaj chaw keeb kwm hauv tebchaws, thiab cov kev pabcuam hauv zej zog. Nyob nruab nrab ntawm xyoo 1960 thiab 1994, rau lub teb chaws Historic Landmarks tau raug xaiv nyob rau hauv cheeb tsam, xws li Fort Morgan, Mobile City Hall thiab Southern Market, USS Alabama, USS Nruas, Tsoom Fwv Txoj Kev Presbyterian Church, thiab Bottle Creek archaeological site. 

Xyoo 1974 Mobile-Tensaw River Bottomlands tau raug xaiv los ua National Natural Landmark. Thaum cov neeg hauv zos tau txaus siab rau cov tsiaj qus ntev ntev thiab kev yos hav zoov thiab nuv ntses muaj peev xwm ntawm Mobile-Tensaw Delta bottomlands, daim ntawv tshaj tawm no tau nthuav tawm cov ntaub ntawv pov thawj tias lub ntiaj teb loj dua, kev coj noj coj ua, thiab kev lag luam nyob ib puag ncig lub delta dej nyab yog inextricably khi ua ke nrog cov toj roob hauv pes nyob ib puag ncig. qhov loj dua toj roob hauv pes ecology ntawm Greater Mobile-Tensaw River cheeb tsam ntawm ntau lab daim av.

Elaine F. Leslie, tus thawj coj ntawm National Park Service Natural Resource Stewardship thiab Science Biological Resources Division tau hais tias "Lub cheeb tsam ntawm North America no yog ib qho ntawm cov nplua nuj tshaj plaws hauv kev hais txog biodiversity tsis zoo," "Thiab nws cov keeb kwm kev coj noj coj ua thiab cov cuab yeej cuab tam yog cov khoom muaj nqis sib npaug."  

Tseem muaj ntau yam kawm txog Delta. Yuav ua li cas lub cev thaj chaw ntawm geology thiab hydrology underpin ntau thiab dynamic biotic systems, thiab ua li cas lawv ua ke tsim lub ecological chaw rau tib neeg kev sib raug zoo nrog lub Delta lub teb chaws, dej, flora, thiab fauna?

Kev sib xyaw ntawm tus kheej kev paub dhau los, keeb kwm ntawm keeb kwm thiab kab lis kev cai, thiab kev tshawb fawb pab peb nkag siab tias kev sib txuas ntawm ecological thiab kab lis kev cai sib txuas ua ke ntawm Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Daim ntawv tshaj tawm no cov neeg koom nrog tshawb nrhiav qhov kev sib txuas ntawm toj roob hauv pes no li cas thiab taw qhia qee qhov kev tshwm sim yog tias peb pawg neeg saib xyuas tsis tuaj yeem khaws lub Delta peb tau txais qub txeeg qub teg.
