E noʻonoʻo: ʻo ka manawa hea ʻoe i mahalo ai i kahi lāʻau? Ua ʻoi aku ka nui o kā mākou ʻaiʻē i nā lāʻau ma mua o ko mākou noʻonoʻo ʻana. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka hapalua o nā kumulāʻau ʻoka oʻo e hoʻopuka i ka oxygen e kākoʻo ai i ke kanaka maʻamau, a i loko o nā kenekulia hiki iā lākou ke komo i ka nui o kēia kalapona pilikia.
ʻO nā kumulāʻau kekahi mea nui i ka mālama ʻana i ke kūpaʻa o ka ʻāina. Ma ka lawe ʻana i ka wai mai ka lepo ma ko lākou mau aʻa, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke kahe ʻana o nā kumulāʻau ma mua o nā ʻano mea kanu ʻē aʻe. A me ka hoʻololi - ma nā kūlana maloʻo, mālama nā lāʻau i ka lepo a mālama i ka makū, hoʻopaʻa ko lākou aʻa i ka honua, a ʻo ka malu a me nā lau hāʻule e pale iā ia mai ka maloʻo a me nā hopena erosive o ka lā, ka makani a me ka ua.
home no ka holoholona hihiu
Hiki i nā lāʻau ke hāʻawi i nā ʻano wahi like ʻole no nā holoholona e noho ai, a me nā meaʻai no nā ʻano ola like ʻole. Noho nā invertebrates ma luna o nā kumulāʻau, e ʻai ana i nā lau, inu i ka nectar, ʻānai i ka ʻili a me ka lāʻau - a ʻo lākou hoʻi, ʻai lākou i nā ʻano mea ola ʻē aʻe, mai nā nahele parasitic a i nā mea lāʻau. Ma waena o nā aʻa a me nā lālā o nā kumulāʻau, ʻo ka dia, nā mammal arboreal liʻiliʻi a me nā manu e loaʻa ai ka puʻuhonua no lākou iho. Noho nā pūnanawelewele a me nā mite, nā halo a me nā ferns, nā mosses a me nā lichens ma luna o nā kumulāʻau. I loko o hoʻokahi lāʻau ʻoka, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa a hiki i nā haneli mau ʻano like ʻole o ka poʻe noho - a ʻaʻole kēia e noʻonoʻo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he ola pū kekahi i nā aʻa a me ka honua kokoke i ka lāʻau.
Ua ʻai ko mākou mau kūpuna i nā hua lāʻau ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka moʻomeheu. Aia kekahi manaʻo noʻonoʻo ua ulu ko mākou ʻike kala ma ke ʻano he hoʻololi e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻoholo i ka pala o ka hua.
Ka pōʻaiapuni o ke ola
ʻOiai ke ʻelemakule a make ka lāʻau, hoʻomau kāna hana. ʻO nā māwae a me nā māwae i ʻike ʻia ma nā kumulāʻau kahiko e hāʻawi i nā wahi pūnana a me nā pūnana no nā manu, ʻōpeʻapeʻa a me nā mea momona liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka ululāʻau make e kū nei he wahi noho a me ke kākoʻo no nā kaiāulu olaola nui, ʻoiai ke kākoʻo nei ka nahele make i kahi kaiāulu ʻē aʻe a ʻoi aku ka like ʻole: bacteria, fungi, invertebrates, a me nā holoholona e ʻai iā lākou, mai nā centipedes a i nā hedgehogs. Popopo nā kumu lāʻau kahiko, a lilo ko lākou mau koena i ʻāpana o ka matrix lepo kupaianaha kahi e ulu mau ai ke ola.
Nā lako a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau
Ma waho aʻe o ka meaʻai, hāʻawi nā kumulāʻau i nā ʻano mea like ʻole e like me ka cork, rubber, wax and dyes, parchment, a me nā fibers e like me kapok, coir a me rayon, i hana ʻia mai ka pulp i unuhi ʻia mai ka pulp lāʻau.
Hoʻopuka pū ʻia nā lāʻau ma muli o nā kumulāʻau. Loaʻa ka aspirin mai ka willow; mai ke kumulāʻau cinchona ka antimalarial quinine; chemotherapeutic taxol - mai yew. A ʻo nā lau o ka lāʻau coca ʻaʻole i hoʻohana ʻia i ka lāʻau lapaʻau wale nō, akā he kumu ia o nā mea ʻono no ka Coca-Cola a me nā mea inu ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka manawa kēia e uku ai i nā lawelawe a pau a nā kumulāʻau e hāʻawi mai iā mākou. A no ka mea, ʻo ka nui o nā kumulāʻau a mākou e hoʻomau nei e ʻoki i lalo, he mea kahiko, pono mākou e hoʻomaopopo i ke ʻano o ka uku kūpono. ʻO ka hoʻololi ʻana i kahi beech 150-makahiki a i ʻole kahi ʻōpio ʻōpio 50 mau makahiki me kahi pana hoʻokahi ʻaʻole e hiki koke i kahi makahiki like a me ke kiʻekiʻe he mea ʻole. No kēlā me kēia kumulāʻau oʻo i ʻoki ʻia, pono he mau ʻumi, haneli a i ʻole mau tausani o nā mea kanu. Ma kēia ala wale nō e loaʻa ai ke kaulike - a ʻo kēia ka mea liʻiliʻi loa e hiki iā mākou ke hana.
