海浪之下隐藏的森林
Along thousands of miles of coastline, in cool and restless water, grow some of the most productive ecosystems on the planet. Kelp forests rise from the seabed in towering golden columns, swaying with the current, yet they remain largely invisible to the people who live beside them.
在绵延数千英里的海岸线上，在凉爽而动荡的海水中，生长着地球上一些生产力最高的生态系统。巨藻林从海床拔地而起，形成高耸的金色柱状结构，随洋流摇曳，却对岸边的居民而言 largely 不可见。
These forests are not made of plants in the strict sense, but of giant algae that can grow more than half a metre in a single day. In their shade lives an extraordinary community: fish that shelter among the fronds, sea urchins grazing on the stalks, otters that wrap themselves in the canopy to sleep without drifting away.
这些森林并非严格意义上的植物构成，而是由巨型海藻组成，它们一天内可生长超过半米。在其阴影下栖息着一个非凡的群落：鱼类在叶状体间藏身，海胆啃食茎干，海獭则将自己裹入树冠中入睡，以免随波漂流。
