澳大利亚西南部有一片在地图上找不到的沙漠,这里雨水稀少,干旱异常,夏季的最高温度可达50摄氏度。因为没有高大树木的阻拦,狂风终日从这片沙漠上空咆哮而过,好像要把地平线扯断。沙漠里没有溪水,听不到野兽的吼叫,甚至连虫的呢喃都很稀少,风是这里惟一的声音。任何人都会以为这是一片死亡之域,但事实却恰好相反。1973年,澳大利亚一个叫夫兰纳里的植物学家骑摩托车旅行经过这里时发现,在这片沙漠中竟有大约3600多种植物繁荣共生,如果按单位面积计算,物种多样性要远远 There is a desert in Southwest Australia that can not be found on the map, where rains are scarce and arid is anomalous, with summer temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius. Because there is no blockage of tall trees, the wind all the way over the desert roaring over, as if to cut off the horizon. There is no stream in the desert, no beast roar, and even the worm’s whispers are rare, the wind is the only voice here. Anyone will think this is a death domain, but the fact is the opposite. In 1973, a botanist in Australia called Flenariri traveled by motorcycle and found that there were about 3,600 species of plants flourishing in the desert. Species diversity would have to be far more diverse
