最近,意大利境内的阿尔卑斯山出现了一个奇怪的现象:山上的雪竟然变成粉色了!
造成变色的罪魁祸首,是一种来自格陵兰岛的藻类。
这可不是什么美丽的自然奇观,反而会造成严重的后果——加剧气候变暖所带来的影响。
Scientists in Italy are investigating the mysterious appearance of pink glacial ice in the Alps, caused by algae that accelerate the effects of climate change.
意大利的科学家正在调查阿尔卑斯山中出现粉红色冰川的神秘现象。这是由藻类所引起的,而这种藻类可以加剧气候变暖所带来的影响。
There is debate about where the algae come from, but Biagio Di Mauro of Italy's National Research Council said the pink snow observed on parts of the Presena glacier is likely caused by the same plant found in Greenland.
关于藻类的来源存在争议,但意大利国家研究委员会委员Biagio Di Mauro表示,在普雷塞纳冰川部分区域观察到的粉色积雪可能是由格陵兰岛上发现的同一种植物引起的。
其实,这种藻类植物本身并没有什么危险性。可一旦数量众多的藻类覆盖在冰川上,就会使冰雪的颜色加深,从而加速辐射吸收,导致冰川融化速度加快,加剧全球变暖。
"The alga is not dangerous, it is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the spring and summer periods in the middle latitudes but also at the Poles," said Di Mauro, who had previously studied the algae at the Morteratsch glacier in Switzerland.
