The plant world's leading biodiversity hotspots are, quite literally, dirt poor.

就说，植物界生物多样性富饶，其实非常贫瘠。

Do you know the paleontology section, fifth floor, stack 437?

你知道五楼437号书架的 古生物学吗？

Kai and his colleagues knew they needed to act fast to stop precious habitats being bought up by farmers or developers.

凯和他的同事们知道，他们需要迅速行，止宝贵的生物群落被农民或开发商买走。

The marine life came from deep waters but also from adjacent areas and so the diversity we find in fjords is elevated compared to other coastlines.

海洋生物来自深水，但也来自近，因此与其他海岸线相比，我们在峡湾中发现的多样性更高。

The area around Mahmudia, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the third-most biodiverse in the world, after Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the Galapagos Islands.

Mahmudia周围联合国教科文组织世界遗产，世界第三大生物多样性，仅次于澳大利亚的大堡礁和加拉帕戈斯群岛。

So Kai and his group of environmentalists had got a name, the Greenbelt, and the determination to protect the area known as a biotope.

于凯和他的环保团队给这片域起了个名字，叫“绿色腰带” ， 并决心保护这个被称为生物群落的方。

Now when we get to our findings I thought we could divide them up into the different zones we identified on the shore and the problems organisms face in each zone.

在写发现部分的内容时，我觉得我们可根据在海岸上识别出的不同，把这些发现成果加划分，然后再写出每个的生物面临的问题。

High enough to lift them out of the tropical environment that the lands would otherwise be in down at lower elevations and into a more temperate biome with cooler temperatures and less humidity.

这里的海拔高度足让它们脱离热带环境，否则这些土就会处于较低海拔，变成温度较低、湿度较小的温带生物群落。
