Critically Endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper has a bill fit for any cutlery drawer, but the mudflats of the East-Asian Australasian Flyway that Spoonies call home are disappearing fast. 📉 Donate today and give Spoonies a fighting chance 👉 www.birdlife.org/campaigns-ap...
Lintujen pesimäkausi on useimmilla lajeilla ohitse, ja syysmuutto on jo käynnissä. Näkyvä muutto on kuitenkin vielä vähäistä. Hienoa mustalintumuuttoa nähtiin kuitenkin Savonlinnassa, ja käpytikoilla on käynnistymässä vaellus. www.birdlife.fi/lintutilanne... #lintutilanne #mustalintu 📷 Micha Fager
Kahlaajat säätelevät ravintoverkkoa: niiden saalistus muuttaa selkärangattomien määriä ja käyttäytymistä, mikä puolestaan vaikuttaa maaperän mikrobitoimintaan. Kun kahlaajia ei ole, mikrobien hajotustoiminta voimistuu, orgaaninen aines hajoaa nopeammin ja ilmakehään vapautuu enemmän hiilidioksidia.
