补充一下小作文:
There are 3 means to protect pine tree forest from pine beetle.
1 low temperature in winter can kill larvae, freezing cold temperature can reduce the amount of beetle.
2 pine tree automatically flush out sap to fill holes made by beetle, flush them out to protect itself
3 wild fire can keep natural healthy balance of young and mature trees of pine forest . Sufficient young trees is crucial to maintain forest. Because beetle like mature trees which diameter is more than 20 centimeters.
NOW because of human activity, those three protection methods has been greatly weakened.
1 green house effect , higher temperture in winter can't kill larvae.
2 over exploration of underground water. Now pine trees can't flush out enough sap to protect itself.
3 human management leads to less wild fire and lower proportion of young pine trees to mature trees |
