Improved air quality to reduce ozone (臭氧) pollution may have avoided the loss of 1.5 billion birds during the past 40 years, a study found. That’s nearly 20% of bird life in the United States today.
Ozone, a gas that appears in nature, is also produced by human activities, including by power plants and cars. The ozone in the upper atmosphere protects the Earth from the harmful ultraviolet rays (紫外线) of the sun. But ground-level ozone is harmful and pollutes the air we breathe.
To examine the relationship between bird populations and air pollution, the researchers used models that connected bird observations from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird program with ground-level pollution data. They tracked monthly changes in bird populations, air quality, and regulation status (治理现状) for 3,214 US counties over a period of 15 years. The findings suggest that ozone pollution is most harmful to the small birds—such as sparrows, warblers and finches—that make up 86% of all North American land-bird species. Ozone pollution directly harms birds by damaging their breathing systems, and indirectly harms their food sources.
“Not only can ozone cause direct physical damage to birds, but it also can harm plant health and reduce numbers of the insects that birds eat,” said co-author Amanda Rodewald. “Not surprisingly, birds that cannot get high-quality habitat or food resources are less likely to survive or reproduce successfully. The good news here is that environmental policies intended to protect human health and return important benefits to birds too.”
This work contributes to our ever increasing understanding of the connection of environmental health and human health.
1.How many birds are there in the United States now
A.0.75 billion. B.1.5 billion. C.3 billion. D.7.5 billion.
2.What is the result of the findings
A.Ozone pollution harms birds’ food sources indirectly.
B.86% of North American land-bird species are extinct.
C.3,214 counties in America have effective regulations.
D.The researchers have observed birds for many years.
3.What is Amanda Rodewald’s attitude towards birds’ future in the US
A.Worried. B.Positive. C.Uncaring. D.Doubtful.
4.What is the suitable title for the text
A.Ground-Level Ozone Makes up Most of the Air We Breathe
B.Environmental Policies Intend to Protect Human Health
C.Reduced Ozone Pollution May Have Avoided Bird Deaths
D.Regulations Bring Important Protection Benefits to Birds
B
Environmental pollution and other human activities are leading to thousands of deaths among seabirds, a new study has warned.
Ecological experts tracked the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. They used satellites to track hundreds of the creatures to find out where they went to catch fish at sea. The study can help assess potential impact from human activities and where protected areas of the seas should be.
Lightweight GPS tags were fitted to more than 1,300 adult birds from 29 different colonies around the UK and Ireland, including kittiwakes, shags, razorbills and guillemots. Results from the five-year study show the large areas of sea the four seabird species use. They found it was at least 600,000 square miles, an area three times the size of Spain. It shows how far they travel from their nests in search of food for their chicks. And it shows the use of the seas by all four species concentrated in the coastal waters of Scotland, highlighting the importance of conservation measures there.
The four species studied require conservation help, with kittiwake numbers declining 71 percent in the past 25 years and shag populations down 61 percent. This means both seabirds are "red listed" and need urgent protection. Razorbills and guillemots are "amber listed", which means they are considered to need conservation action.
Dr. Ewan, lead author of the research, said, “Many seabirds are at the top of the marine food web. They feed on some small fish but that prey is declining because of human pressures, including climate change. The result is that thousands of sea baby birds are dying each year because their parents can't feed them. For the first time, this study provides us with a full map for the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species.”
The analysis provides critical data to inform marine management, the experts said.
5.Which is one of the purpose of the study
A.To find out where to catch more fish. B.To judge which sea should be protected.
C.To know the seabirds’ impacts on human beings. D.To study the behaviour of British and Irish seabirds.
6.How did the experts track the seabirds
A.With the help of satellites. B.With help of the fishermen.
C.By observing human activities. D.By tying GPS tags on the ship.
7.On which coast would most tracked seabirds gather
A.France. B.Ireland. C.Spain. D.Scotland.
8.What’s Dr. Ewan’s attitude towards the research
A.Puzzled. B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Disappointed.
