　　The Impact of Wilderness Tourism

　　The market for tourism in remote areas is booming as never before. Countries all across the world are actively promoting their ‘wilderness’ regions — such as mountains, Arctic lands, deserts, small islands and wetland — to high-spending tourists. The attraction of these areas is obvious: by definition, wilderness tourism requires little or no initial investment. But that does not mean that there is no cost. As the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development recognized, these regions are fragile (i.e. highly vulnerable to abnormal pressures) not just in terms of their ecology, but also in terms of the culture of their inhabitants. The three most significant types of fragile environment in these respects, and also in terms of the proportion of the Earth’s surface they cover, are deserts, mountains and Arctic areas. An important characteristic is their marked seasonality, with harsh conditions prevailing for many months each year. Consequently, most human activities, including tourism, are limited to quite clearly defined parts of the year.

　　Tourists are drawn to these regions by their natural landscape beauty and the unique cultures of their indigenous people. And poor governments in these isolated areas have welcomed the new breed of ‘a(chǎn)dventure tourist’, grateful for the hard currency they bring. For several years now, tourism has been the prime source of foreign exchange in Nepal and Bhutan. Tourism is also a key element in the economies of Arctic zones such as Lapland and Alaska and in desert areas such as Ayers Rock in Australia and Arizona’s Monument Valley.

　　Once a location is established as a main tourist destination, the effects on the local community are profound. When hill-farmers, for example, can make more money in a few weeks working as porters for foreign trekkers than they can in a year working in their fields, it is not surprising that many of them give up their farm-work, which is thus left to other members of the family. In some hill-regions, this has led to a serious decline in farm output and a change in the local diet, because there is insufficient labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems and tend to crops. The result has been that many people in these regions have turned to outside supplies of rice and other foods.

　　In Arctic and desert societies, year-round survival has traditionally depended on hunting animals and fish and collecting fruit over a relatively short season. However, as some inhabitants become involved in tourism, they no longer have time to collect wild food; this has led to increasing dependence on bought food and stores. Tourism is not always the culprit behind such changes. All kinds of wage labour, or government handouts, tend to undermine traditional survival systems. Whatever the cause, the dilemma is always the same: what happens if these new, external sources of income dry up?

　　The physical impact of visitors is another serious problem associated with the growth in adventure tourism. Much attention has focused on erosion along major trails, but perhaps more important are the deforestation and impacts on water supplies arising from the need to provide tourists with cooked food and hot showers. In both mountains and deserts, slow-growing trees are often the main sources of fuel and water supplies may be limited or vulnerable to degradation through heavy use.

　　Stories about the problems of tourism have become legion in the last few years. Yet it does not have to be a problem. Although tourism inevitably affects the region in which it takes place, the costs to these fragile environments and their local cultures can be minimized. Indeed, it can even be a vehicle for reinvigorating local cultures, as has happened with the Sherpas of Nepal’s Khumbu Valley and in some Alpine villages. And a growing number of adventure tourism operators are trying to ensure that their activities benefit the local population and environment over the long term.

　　In the Swiss Alps, communities have decided that their future depends on integrating tourism more effectively with the local economy. Local concern about the rising number of second home developments in the Swiss Pays d’Enhaut resulted in limits being imposed on their growth. There has also been a renaissance in communal cheese production in the area, providing the locals with a reliable source of income that does not depend on outside visitors.

　　Many of the Arctic tourist destinations have been exploited by outside companies, who employ transient workers and repatriate most of the profits to their home base. But some Arctic communities are now operating tour businesses themselves, thereby ensuring that the benefits accrue locally. For instance, a native corporation in Alaska, employing local people, is running an air tour from Anchorage to Kotzebue, where tourists eat Arctic food, walk on the tundra and watch local musicians and dancers.

　　Native people in the desert regions of the American Southwest have followed similar strategies, encouraging tourists to visit their pueblos and reservations to purchase high-quality handicrafts and artwork. The Acoma and San lldefonso pueblos have established highly profitable pottery businesses, while the Navajo and Hopi groups have been similarly successful with jewellery.

　　Too many people living in fragile environments have lost control over their economies, their culture and their environment when tourism has penetrated their homelands. Merely restricting tourism cannot be the solution to the imbalance, because people’s desire to see new places will not just disappear. Instead, communities in fragile environments must achieve greater control over tourism ventures in their regions, in order to balance their needs and aspirations with the demands of tourism. A growing number of communities are demonstrating that, with firm communal decision-making, this is possible. The critical question now is whether this can become the norm, rather than the exception.

　　You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14-26, which are based on Reading Passage 2 below.

　　Flawed Beauty: the problem with toughened glass

　　On 2nd August 1999, a particularly hot day in the town of Cirencester in the UK, a large pane of toughened glass in the roof of a shopping centre at Bishops Walk shattered without warning and fell from its frame. When fragments were analysed by experts at the giant glass manufacturer Pilkington, which had made the pane, they found that minute crystals of nickel sulphide trapped inside the glass had almost certainly caused the failure.

　　‘The glass industry is aware of the issue,’ says Brian Waldron, chairman of the standards committee at the Glass and Glazing Federation, a British trade association, and standards development officer at Pilkington. But he insists that cases are few and far between. ‘It’s a very rare phenomenon,’ he says.

　　Others disagree. ‘On average I see about one or two buildings a month suffering from nickel sulphide related failures,’ says Barrie Josie, a consultant engineer involved in the Bishops Walk investigation. Other experts tell of similar experiences. Tony Wilmott of London-based consulting engineers Sandberg, and Simon Armstrong at CladTech Associates in Hampshire both say they know of hundreds of cases. ‘What you hear is only the tip of the iceberg,’ says Trevor Ford, a glass expert at Resolve Engineering in Brisbane, Queensland. He believes the reason is simple: ‘No-one wants bad press.’

　　Toughened glass is found everywhere, from cars and bus shelters to the windows, walls and roofs of thousands of buildings around the world. It’s easy to see why. This glass has five times the strength of standard glass, and when it does break it shatters into tiny cubes rather than large, razor-sharp shards. Architects love it because large panels can be bolted together to make transparent walls, and turning it into ceilings and floors is almost as easy.

　　It is made by heating a sheet of ordinary glass to about 620°C to soften it slightly, allowing its structure to expand, and then cooling it rapidly with jets of cold air. This causes the outer layer of the pane to contract and solidify before the interior. When the interior finally solidifies and shrinks, it exerts a pull on the outer layer that leaves it in permanent compression and produces a tensile force inside the glass. As cracks propagate best in materials under tension, the compressive force on the surface must be overcome before the pane will break, making it more resistant to cracking.

　　The problem starts when glass contains nickel sulphide impurities. Trace amounts of nickel and sulphur are usually present in the raw materials used to make glass, and nickel can also be introduced by fragments of nickel alloys falling into the molten glass. As the glass is heated, these atoms react to form tiny crystals of nickel sulphide. Just a tenth of a gram of nickel in the furnace can create up to 50,000 crystals.

　　These crystals can exist in two forms: a dense form called the alpha phase, which is stable at high temperatures, and a less dense form called the beta phase, which is stable at room temperatures. The high temperatures used in the toughening process convert all the crystals to the dense, compact alpha form. But the subsequent cooling is so rapid that the crystals don’t have time to change back to the beta phase. This leaves unstable alpha crystals in the glass, primed like a coiled spring, ready to revert to the beta phase without warning.

　　When this happens, the crystals expand by up to 4%. And if they are within the central, tensile region of the pane, the stresses this unleashes can shatter the whole sheet. The time that elapses before failure occurs is unpredictable. It could happen just months after manufacture, or decades later, although if the glass is heated — by sunlight, for example — the process is speeded up. Ironically, says Graham Dodd, of consulting engineers Arup in London, the oldest pane of toughened glass known to have failed due to nickel sulphide inclusions was in Pilkington’s glass research building in Lathom, Lancashire. The pane was 27 years old.

　　Data showing the scale of the nickel sulphide problem is almost impossible to find. The picture is made more complicated by the fact that these crystals occur in batches. So even if, on average, there is only one inclusion in 7 tonnes of glass, if you experience one nickel sulphide failure in your building, that probably means you’ve got a problem in more than one pane. Josie says that in the last decade he has worked on over 15 buildings with the number of failures into double figures.

　　One of the worst examples of this is Waterfront Place, which was completed in 1990. Over the following decade the 40-storey Brisbane block suffered a rash of failures. Eighty panes of its toughened glass shattered due to inclusions before experts were finally called in. John Barry, an expert in nickel sulphide contamination at the University of Queensland, analysed every glass pane in the building. Using a studio camera, a photographer went up in a cradle to take photos of every pane. These were scanned under a modified microfiche reader for signs of nickel sulphide crystals. ‘We discovered at least another 120 panes with potentially dangerous inclusions which were then replaced,’ says Barry. ‘It was a very expensive and time-consuming process that took around six months to complete.’ Though the project cost A class="main">

　　READING PASSAGE 3

　　You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.

　　The effects of light on plant and animal species

　　Light is important to organisms for two different reasons. Firstly it is used as a cue for the timing, of daily and seasonal rhythms in both plants and animals, and secondly it is used to assist growth in plants.

　　Breeding in most organisms occurs during a part of the year only, and so a reliable cue is needed to trigger breeding behaviour. Day length is an excellent cue, because it provides a perfectly predictable pattern of change within the year. In the temperate zone in spring, temperatures fluctuate greatly from day to day, but day length increases steadily by a predictable amount. The seasonal impact of day length on physiological responses is called photoperiodism, and the amount of experimental evidence for this phenomenon is considerable. For example, some species of birds’ breeding can be induced even in midwinter simply by increasing day length artificially (Wolfson 1964). Other examples of photoperiodism occur in plants. A short-day plant flowers when the day is less than a certain critical length. A long-day plant flowers after a certain critical day length is exceeded. In both cases the critical day length differs from species to species. Plants which flower after a period of vegetative growth, regardless of photoperiod, are known as day-neutral plants.

　　Breeding seasons in animals such as birds have evolved to occupy the part of the year in which offspring have the greatest chances of survival. Before the breeding season begins, food reserves must be built up to support the energy cost of reproduction, and to provide for young birds both when they are in the nest and after fledging. Thus many temperate-zone birds use the increasing day lengths in spring as a cue to begin the nesting cycle, because this is a point when adequate food resources will be assured.

　　The adaptive significance at photoperiodism in plants is also clear. Short-day plants that flower in spring in the temperate zone are adapted to maximizing seedling growth during the growing season. Long-day plants are adapted for situations that require fertilization by insects, or a long period of seed ripening. Short-day plants that flower in the autumn in the temperate zone are able to build up food reserves over the growing season and over winter as seeds. Day-neutral plants have an evolutionary advantage when the connection between the favourable period for reproduction and day length is much less certain. For example, desert annuals germinate, flower and seed whenever suitable rainfall occurs, regardless of the day length.

　　The breeding season of some plants can be delayed to extraordinary lengths. Bamboos are perennial grasses that remain in a vegetative state for many years and then suddenly flower, fruit and die (Evans 1976). Every bamboo of the species Chusquea abietifolio on the island of Jamaica flowered, set seed and died during 1884. The next generation of bamboo flowered and died between 1916 and 1918, which suggests a vegetative cycle of about 31 years. The climatic trigger for this flowering cycle is not yet known, but the adaptive significance is clear. The simultaneous production of masses of bamboo seeds (in some cases lying 12 to 15 centimetres deep on the ground) is more than all the seed-eating animals can cope with at the time, so that some seeds escape being eaten and grow up to form the next generation (Evans 1976).

　　The second reason light is important to organisms is that it is essential for photosynthesis. This is the process by which plants use energy from the sun to convert carbon from soil or water into organic material for growth. The rate of photosynthesis in a plant can be measured by calculating the rate of its uptake of carbon. There is a wide range of photosynthetic responses of plants to variations in light intensity. Some plants reach maximal photosynthesis at one-quarter full sunlight, and others, like sugarcane, never reach a maximum, but continue to increase photosynthesis rate as light intensity rises.

　　Plants in general can be divided into two groups: shade-tolerant species and shade-intolerant species. This classification is commonly used in forestry and horticulture. Shade-tolerant plants have lower photosynthetic rates and hence have lower growth rates than those of shade-intolerant species. Plant species become adapted to living in a certain kind of habitat, and in the process evolve a series of characteristics that prevent them from occupying other habitats. Grime (1966) suggests that light may be one of the major components directing these adaptations. For example, eastern hemlock seedlings are shade-tolerant. They can survive in the forest understory under very low light levels because they have a low photosynthetic rate.

　　The Impact of Wilderness Tourism

　　荒野旅游的影響

　　A偏遠(yuǎn)地區(qū)的旅游市場(chǎng)從未曾像現(xiàn)在這么火爆。世界各國(guó)都積極地向高消費(fèi)游客推廣它們的“荒野”地區(qū)——如髙山、極地、沙漠、小島和濕地。這些地區(qū)的吸引力是顯而易見(jiàn)的：從定義上看，荒野旅游只需要很少的或者完全不需要初始投資。但是，這并不意味著發(fā)展荒野旅游不需要付出任何代價(jià)。正如1992年聯(lián)合國(guó)環(huán)境與發(fā)展大會(huì)指出的那樣，這些地區(qū)是非常脆弱的(即：在異常壓力下是極容易被破壞的)，而這種破壞不僅是就當(dāng)?shù)氐纳鷳B(tài)學(xué)而言，而且還會(huì)影響到當(dāng)?shù)鼐用竦?a href='http://m.athomedrugdetox.com/zixun/wenhua/' target='_blank'>文化。在以上方面以及就其所覆蓋的地表面積的比例來(lái)說(shuō)，最重要的三種脆弱環(huán)境是沙漠、高山和極地。這些地區(qū)的一個(gè)重要的特征就是顯著的季節(jié)性，在每年的很多月份里都以惡劣的環(huán)境為主。因此，包括旅游在內(nèi)的大多數(shù)人類活動(dòng)都被清楚地限定在一年中的某些時(shí)候。

　　B一個(gè)地區(qū)一旦被確定為主要的旅游目的地，其對(duì)當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)的影響是意義深遠(yuǎn)的。比如，當(dāng)農(nóng)夫在幾個(gè)星期內(nèi)幫外國(guó)背包客搬運(yùn)行李掙的錢多于在田里工作一年的收入時(shí)，很多農(nóng)夫放棄種田也就不足為奇了。因此，種田的工作就被轉(zhuǎn)移到家庭其他成員身上。在--些丘陵地區(qū)，這種變化導(dǎo)致了糧食產(chǎn)量的嚴(yán)重下降和當(dāng)?shù)仫嬍车母淖?，因?yàn)闆](méi)有足夠的勞力去維持梯田和灌溉系統(tǒng)以及照管農(nóng)作物。因此，這些地區(qū)的很多人已經(jīng)依靠外部供給的米和其他食物為生。

　　傳統(tǒng)上，在北極和沙漠地區(qū)的社區(qū)，全年的生存都依靠打獵捕魚(yú)和在相當(dāng)短的收獲季節(jié)采摘果實(shí)。然而，當(dāng)一些居民開(kāi)始參與旅游業(yè)之后，他們不再有時(shí)間去捕獵采摘野果，這讓他們更加依賴于購(gòu)買的食物和賣食物的商店。旅游業(yè)并不是隱藏于這些變化背后惟一的“罪魁禍?zhǔn)住保核懈缎劫Y的勞動(dòng)，或者政府的救濟(jì)物都趨向破壞傳統(tǒng)生存系統(tǒng)。不管原因是什么，困境卻總是相同的：如果這些新的外來(lái)的收入來(lái)源枯竭了該怎么辦?

　　C過(guò)去幾年里，旅游業(yè)所帶來(lái)的問(wèn)題越來(lái)越多。但是這沒(méi)有必要成為一個(gè)問(wèn)題。雖然旅游業(yè)不可避免地影響著旅游地，這些脆弱的環(huán)境和當(dāng)?shù)匚幕冻龅拇鷥r(jià)可以降到最低。實(shí)際上，旅游業(yè)甚至可以成為加速當(dāng)?shù)匚幕瘡?fù)興的快車，就像尼泊爾昆布山谷的雪帕族和一些阿爾卑斯山的村莊一樣。越來(lái)越多的冒險(xiǎn)旅游業(yè)的經(jīng)營(yíng)者正在努力，以便確保他們的活動(dòng)從長(zhǎng)期來(lái)看有益于當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣窈铜h(huán)境。

　　但不同意見(jiàn)也同時(shí)存在。參與主教街事件調(diào)查的咨詢工程師Barrie Josie宣稱，“平均每個(gè)月我都會(huì)看到一兩幢建筑物遭遇類似的硫化鎳問(wèn)題。”其他專家也講述了類似經(jīng)歷。位于倫敦的Sanberg公司的咨詢工程師Tony Wilraott以及來(lái)自漢普西爾的CladTech協(xié)會(huì)的Simon Armstrong均聲稱自己了解大量此類情況?！肮娝赖闹徊贿^(guò)是冰山一角罷了，”昆士蘭州布里斯班市Resolve工程公司的玻璃專家Trevor Ford說(shuō)道。他認(rèn)為原因很簡(jiǎn)單：“沒(méi)人想要壞新聞?！?/p>

　　鋼化玻璃被廣泛應(yīng)用于汽車、候車亭以及世界各地?cái)?shù)以千計(jì)的建筑物上的窗子、墻面和屋頂。原因很簡(jiǎn)單，鋼化坡璃的強(qiáng)度是普通玻璃的5倍，破碎時(shí)裂成細(xì)小顆粒而不是鋒利的大塊碎片。大塊的鋼化坡璃可以拼成透明的玻璃墻，用它做屋頂和地面也很方便，所以建筑師對(duì)鋼化玻璃情有獨(dú)鐘。

　　鋼化玻璃是由普通玻璃制成的：把一塊普通玻璃加熱到大約620攝氏度，使之輕度軟化、結(jié)構(gòu)膨脹，然后用冷氣流迅速將其冷卻。這導(dǎo)致玻璃的外層先于內(nèi)部收縮和凝固。玻璃內(nèi)部最終冷卻并凝固后對(duì)玻璃外層產(chǎn)生拉力作用，使之始終處于壓力之下，它還會(huì)使玻璃內(nèi)部產(chǎn)生張力.裂縫最容易在有壓力的物體中擴(kuò)張，所以要防止玻璃破晬就必須消除玻璃表面的壓力，使之不容易破碎。

　　當(dāng)玻璃含有硫化鎳雜質(zhì)時(shí)，問(wèn)題就出現(xiàn)了。痕量的鎳和硫通常出現(xiàn)在制作玻璃的原材料中，熔化過(guò)程中鎳合金碎片也會(huì)增加玻璃的鎳含量。玻璃被加熱之后，這些原子相互作用形成了微型的硫化鎳晶體。熔爐中0.1克的鎳就會(huì)產(chǎn)生多達(dá)5萬(wàn)個(gè)晶體。

　　這些晶體以兩種形式存在：髙溫下穩(wěn)定的密度較大的α相和室溫下穩(wěn)定的密度小一些的β相。強(qiáng)化過(guò)程中的高溫把所有的硫化鎳晶體都轉(zhuǎn)化成高密度的α相。但是接下來(lái)的冷卻過(guò)程如此迅速，以至于硫化鎳晶體沒(méi)有足夠的時(shí)間重新轉(zhuǎn)化成β相。這在玻璃中遺留下不穩(wěn)定的α相晶體，它就像被壓縮的彈簧一樣隨時(shí)可能毫無(wú)征兆地重新轉(zhuǎn)化為β相。

　　當(dāng)硫化鎳晶體由α相轉(zhuǎn)化成β相時(shí)，體積膨脹4%。如果α相晶體位于張力最大的玻璃中央，膨脹產(chǎn)生的壓力可以使整塊玻璃破裂。破裂時(shí)間無(wú)法預(yù)測(cè)，可能是生產(chǎn)出來(lái)的幾個(gè)月后也可能是幾十年后，盡管玻璃被日光加熱會(huì)加快晶體的轉(zhuǎn)化速度。Graham Dodd，倫敦Arup顧問(wèn)建筑師說(shuō)：“具有諷刺意味的是，因?yàn)楹辛蚧嚩鴮?dǎo)致破裂的‘歷史最悠久’的鋼化玻璃是蘭開(kāi)夏郡拉蘇的Pilkington公司的玻璃研究大廈的玻璃，使用時(shí)間是27 年?！?/p>

　　能夠表明硫化鎳問(wèn)題的規(guī)模的數(shù)據(jù)幾乎無(wú)法找到。硫化鎳晶體總是成批出現(xiàn)，使問(wèn)題更加復(fù)雜。所以，即使平均每7噸的玻璃里只有一個(gè)雜質(zhì)，但是，只要有一個(gè)硫化鎳晶體發(fā)生破裂，這就意味著這個(gè)建筑物中不止一塊鋼化玻璃存在著問(wèn)題。Josie說(shuō)，在過(guò)去的十年間，他參加建造的建筑物超過(guò)15個(gè)，因?yàn)榱蚧嚠a(chǎn)生問(wèn)題的建筑物數(shù)量達(dá)到兩位數(shù)。

　　TEST 4 PASSAGE 3 參考譯文：

　　The effects of light on plant and animal species

　　光對(duì)動(dòng)植物的影響

　　光對(duì)于生物體的重要性是由于兩個(gè)不同的原因。第一，光被動(dòng)植物用作日常時(shí)間和季節(jié)節(jié)奏的暗示;第二，光有助于植物生長(zhǎng)。

　　大多數(shù)生物體的繁殖都只發(fā)生在一年中的某些時(shí)候，因此，需要一個(gè)可靠的提示來(lái)引發(fā)繁殖行為。日照長(zhǎng)度就是非常好的提示，因?yàn)樗峁┝艘粋€(gè)極好的可預(yù)測(cè)的一年之中變化的模式。在溫帶的春季，一天與一天之間氣溫波動(dòng)很大，但是日照長(zhǎng)度卻按照可預(yù)測(cè)的數(shù)量穩(wěn)步增加。受季節(jié)性影響的日照長(zhǎng)度在生理學(xué)上的反應(yīng)叫做光周期現(xiàn)象。這種現(xiàn)象的試驗(yàn)證據(jù)的數(shù)量相當(dāng)可觀。例如，僅僅通過(guò)人工增加日照長(zhǎng)度，一些鳥(niǎo)類甚至在冬至的時(shí)候都會(huì)被誘發(fā)繁殖(Wolfson, 1964年)。在植物中也有光周期的例子。當(dāng)日照低于一定的臨界長(zhǎng)度，短日照植物會(huì)開(kāi)花。而當(dāng)日照超過(guò)一定的臨界長(zhǎng)度時(shí)，長(zhǎng)日照植物就會(huì)開(kāi)花。在這兩個(gè)例子中，臨界日照長(zhǎng)度因物種的不同而存在差異。那些不受光周期影響，經(jīng)過(guò)一段時(shí)間的生長(zhǎng)之后便開(kāi)花的植物叫做日中性植物。

　　諸如鳥(niǎo)類等動(dòng)物的繁殖期占據(jù)了一年中其后代最有可能生存下來(lái)的時(shí)間。在繁殖期開(kāi)始之前，必須儲(chǔ)存足夠的食物以支持繁殖過(guò)程中的能量消耗，并且需要為還在巢中和剛長(zhǎng)羽毛不久的小鳥(niǎo)提供食物。因此，很多溫帶的鳥(niǎo)類將春季日照長(zhǎng)度的增加當(dāng)作開(kāi)始筑巢周期的提示，因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)時(shí)候能保證有足夠的食物來(lái)源。

　　植物對(duì)光周期現(xiàn)象的適應(yīng)性也很明顯。溫帶地區(qū)的短日照植物在春天開(kāi)花以便在生長(zhǎng)季節(jié)讓幼苗長(zhǎng)得最快。長(zhǎng)日照植物會(huì)選擇能夠得到昆蟲(chóng)授精或者使種子有較長(zhǎng)成熟期的時(shí)期。溫帶的短日照植物秋季開(kāi)花，這樣能夠在生長(zhǎng)季節(jié)建立食物儲(chǔ)備，也能以種子的形式度過(guò)冬天。日中性植物有進(jìn)化優(yōu)勢(shì)。對(duì)于它們而言，繁殖的最好季節(jié)和日照長(zhǎng)度之間并沒(méi)有必然的關(guān)系。例如，對(duì)于沙漠的一年生植物而言，只要有合適的雨水，它們就會(huì)生長(zhǎng)、開(kāi)花、結(jié)果，不受日照長(zhǎng)短的影響。

　　一些植物的生殖期會(huì)拖得特別長(zhǎng)。竹子是多年生植物，在很多年的時(shí)間里都保持生長(zhǎng)狀態(tài)，然后突然開(kāi)花、結(jié)果、死亡(Evans, 1976)。1884年，牙買加島上的Chusquea abietifolia竹子全部開(kāi)花、結(jié)果、死亡。下一代的這種竹子在1916年到1918年間也都開(kāi)花、死亡了，這喑示這種竹子的生長(zhǎng)期大約為31年。這種花期循環(huán)的氣候誘因目前還不清楚，但是其適應(yīng)性卻是很清楚的。大量的竹子同時(shí)育種(在一些例子中，種子在地下12到15厘米深)，種子的數(shù)量超過(guò)了這一時(shí)期以種子為食的動(dòng)物所能吃掉的全部數(shù)量，這樣，一些種子就能存活下來(lái)，長(zhǎng)成下一代(Evans, 1976)。

　　光對(duì)于生物體來(lái)說(shuō)很重要的第二個(gè)原因是由于它對(duì)光合作用至關(guān)重要。光合作用是植物通過(guò)太陽(yáng)能將土壤或水中的碳轉(zhuǎn)化成供生長(zhǎng)所需的有機(jī)物質(zhì)的過(guò)程。通過(guò)計(jì)算植物對(duì)碳的吸收速率可以計(jì)量出光合作用的速率。光合作用對(duì)植物的影響因?yàn)楣庹諒?qiáng)度的不同有很大的區(qū)別，一些植物在1/4全光照的時(shí)候能達(dá)到光合作用最高值;而另外一些植物，比如甘蔗，從來(lái)不能達(dá)到最髙值，但是隨著光照強(qiáng)度的增加，光合作用的速率會(huì)持續(xù)增高。

　　總體而言，植物可以被分為兩種：耐陰類和喜光類。這一分類在林業(yè)和園藝業(yè)中廣泛使用。耐陰植物光合作用的速率低，因此生長(zhǎng)速度低于喜光植物。植物物種會(huì)逐漸適應(yīng)生活在某一特定的環(huán)境中，并在此過(guò)程中產(chǎn)生一系列的特性，這些特性會(huì)阻止它們?nèi)フ紦?jù)別的環(huán)境。Grime (1966)指出，光照可能是指導(dǎo)這些適應(yīng)性的主要因素之一。例如，東方的芹葉鉤吻幼苗是耐陰植物，它們可以生存在森林中光照很少的林下葉層，因?yàn)樗鼈兊墓夂献饔盟俾实汀?/p>
