吉安卢卡·皮奥维桑博士（ Gianluca Piovesan）的保护古树倡議 意大利图西亚大学（Tuscia University）生态与生物科学系教授，吉安卢卡·皮奥维桑博士（Gianluca Piovesan）多年来带领著生态学家团队，致力于保护数百甚至数千年历史的古树。在今年10月19日《生态与进化趋势》杂志上，皮奥维桑博士等人发表的最新评论文章中，做了以下的倡议： “从生态学角度来看，古树是生物多样性和生态系统复杂性的锚定节点，增强了整体森林的稳定性和相互作用，在恢复受干扰的生态系统功能方面发挥着关键作用。例如，大型成熟树木通过道格拉斯冷杉 (Pseudotsuga menziesii) 森林中的真菌共生体促进根网络连接，创建复杂的嵌套拓扑，其中深深锚定了古树与新树的相连性。” Pinus nigra subsp. laricio in an old-growth forest of Sila National Park, Italy, Courtesy: Dr. Gianluca Piovesan 此外，皮奥维桑博士等人并指出保护古树的另个好处，那就是它们具有碳储存汇的能力，可为气候变化提供缓冲。此外，从跨越数百年环境周期的进化角度来看，古树的适应能力对整体环境至关重要，更不用说它们的存在增强了公众心理和文化归属感。 尽管古树发挥着重要作用，但是它们正以惊人的速度在全球范围内消失。这就是为什么皮奥维桑博士等人呼吁通过测绘和监测古老的森林以建立一个全球古树监测平台。凭借先进的技术和公共教育，皮奥维桑博士等人希望“保护体现在古树上的独特生物多样性，同时加快恢复森林功能以缓解气候和土地利用变化。” 以下采访提供了有关皮奥维桑教授及其在该主题上的研究： Ancient beech tree in the Pollinello Unesco world heritage serial site Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe, Courtesy:

Creating the Foodloose ‘Silk Road’ between the West and the East As early as two thousand years ago, camels and traders made the epic trek on what is now known as the Silk Road, announcing their presence through the ringing of bells attached to their caravans that echoed across continents. From China to Europe, these

早在两千年前，成群的骆驼商队就已络绎不绝地沿着丝绸之路，奔波往返于欧、亚大陆之间。在这条商旅不绝的古道上，此起彼落的驼铃声，不但提醒著人们这些商队的存在，更谱写了无数的史诗篇章。他们从中国将丝绸、茶、陶瓷和其他贵重物品运送到千英里之外的欧洲。在回程的路上，他们也将香料、新发明和宗教传入了中国。随着时间的推移，这条古老的丝绸之路逐渐发展成篷勃的贸易网络。不过，尽管″丝绸之路″成为具有独特历史意义的贸易路线，它也为东西方两个世界，提供了传播文化和思想的机会。
