In August 2016 on Hardangervidda, Norway, lightning struck a mountain area, exterminating 323 reindeer
2016年8月,在挪威哈丹格尔维达,闪电袭击了一个山区,导致323只驯鹿死亡。
当地政府觉得不干预这些驯鹿尸体,让大自然处理尸体。
随后,这个地区上到处都是食腐鸟、乌鸦和鹰,它们以驯鹿肉为食,紧接着啮齿动物紧随其后。这种的事情可以被称为“恐惧景观”,一种基于动物对掠夺性风险的感知而创造的包含许多动物空间变化的景观。
腐烂的驯鹿肉是一种强大的食物诱惑,吸引了多种物种。
这场灾难还表明,植物群是环境“回收利用”过程中的基础:事实上,在盛宴过后,现场出现了黑豌豆种子,这是来自来这里觅食的鸟排除的粪便。在24份粪便样本中,有21份含有这种植物的种子,这种植物通常不会在该地区生长。
The disaster also demonstrated that flora is fundamental in the process of environmental "recycling": in fact, black pea seeds were found around the carcasses expelled by birds that feasted on the site. Of 24 fecal samples, 21 contained seeds of the plant, which usually does not grow in the area.
