LIFE IS SLOWLY RETURNING TO
AUSTRALIAN BUSH AFTER BUSHFIRES
G'day folks,
For the last few months, Australia has
been tormented by natural disasters caused by extreme weather, from
destructive fires worsened by drought, to flash flooding that occurred
when that drought suddenly ended. Here, you can see photos of the damage that
the bushfires have already done to wildlife and communities.
While the southern states of Victoria and New South Wales aren’t out of
the woods yet and many fires are still raging, photos show that life
goes on in the areas that the fire already passed through.
Plants
that have evolved to shield their buds from fire so they can quickly
resprout after being burnt at the surface, or even take advantage of the
nutrients in ash, are called pyrophytic plants. It’s not uncommon to
see them blooming en masse after a devastating fire, and the brilliant
greens and reds against the blackened landscape have a stunning visual
effect. But even though the cycle of being burnt and growing back again
is normal for Australia’s vegetation, the plant and animal survivors
still face challenges.
Let's see how resilient this landscape is ...

ReplyDeleteBecause there are so many different programs a person can now choose it is important that they spend a little time and compare photo editing software programs so they find one that meets their own particular requirements. clipping path service
