35、 experience.DWhen it comes to rainforests, it turns out, they are not created equal. Take the Amazon rainforest, an area that covers about 7 million square kilometers. But within that huge expanse are all kinds of ecological zones, and some of these zones, says a researcher, Greg Asner, are a lot mo
36、re crowded than others.“Some forests have many species of trees,” he said, “and others have few. Many forests are unique from others in terms of their overall species - 7 -composition” And all of these different small areas of forest exist within the giant space that is the Amazon Rainforest.So Asne
37、r, using the signature technique called airborne laser-guided imaging spectroscopy(光谱学), began to map these different zones from the air. “By mapping the traits of tropical forests from above,” he explains, “we are, for the first time, able to understand how forest composition varies geographically.
