#Afuni Its A Huge Tremendous Enchantment Of The Nature Let's Talk
Something About Importance Of The Bird Specially For The Nature
When birds travel, they take the seeds they have eaten with them
and disperse them through their droppings. They bring plants back
to ecosystems that have been destroyed, and even carry plants across
the sea to new land masses. Birds have helped to shape the plant life
we see around us – and around the world.. In New Zealand’s forests,70%
of the plants have seeds dispersed by birds such as Tui Prosthemadera
novaeseelandiae. An even greater duty is borne by Micronesian Imperial
pigeon Ducula oceanica; as one of the largest birds in the Palau
archipelago: it is one of the main seed dispersers across the entire
island chain.Habitats like forests, marshes and grasslands affect
people across the whole planet, even those living hundreds of miles
away – they store carbon, keep the climate stable, oxygenate the air
and transform pollutants into nutrients. But without birds, many of
these ecosystems may not exist. Birds maintain the delicate balance
between plant and herbivore, predator and prey. A perfect example is
the salt marshes of south-eastern USA, where cordgrass thrives,
filtering local water and protecting the coast from sea erosion.
The Salt Marsh Periwinkle Littoraria irrorata grazes upon cordgrass
with gusto, and were it not for predators such as oystercatchers,
curlews and plovers, these tiny snails would devour the entire
marsh leaving only mudflats.
