18、 with 120 14-year-olds.I love spending time with teenagers. But I teach Grade 12 English and am 51 years old. Thereis a difference between a literary seminar on King Lear, no matter how lively it may be, andlate-night party in a campground. Besides, my idea of “outdoors” is biking on the Ottawa bike

19、paths or sitting in the backyard with a cup of tea and a good book.Eventually, we turn down a long dirt track that dives into a forest. I read the schedule and notethe impressive minute-by-muinute detail for the next 72 hours. Ive never faced such a structuredtime since, well, when I went to camp in

20、 Grade 9. I think of home.The next morning, I arise early. It is 7 a.m. Time for the polar bear dip. Everyone asks if I amgoing to swim. I respond with lame excuses and then wander, like a Grade 8 boy at the edges of amiddle-school dance. Kids charge in, great plumes of water rising up around them a

21、s they shoutwith joy. My colleagues link arms, count down and run into the water bravely. Toweling off, theswimmers discuss the water temperature. The regret that I knew I would feel starts to kill me. I5will now forever be the guy who did not take part in the polar bear dip. I walk slowly up to the

22、dining hall and decide that from that moment on I will commit fully to camp life. Myunwillingness to do anything is replaced with a burning desire to do everything.At 7 a.m. the next morning, I am the first person on the beach in my bathing suit. I dive intothe water. I scream about how good it feel

23、s. Toweling off afterward, I talk to anyone withinearshot about the temperature of the water.Later that day, the camp winds down. Something has happened in this camp.

26、. He turns into a camp director.D.

Erin Foster, a NearshoreEcology PhD from Hakai Institute, suggests that sea

27、 otter restoration can enhance the geneticdiversity of their habitat.Sea otters reside in coastal habitats, including eelgrass fields, where they feed on rock crabs,often creating foraging pits (觅食坑) in the eelgrass. Foster looked at the impact of this activity oneelgrass genetic diversity by compar

28、ing eelgrass ecosystems with no otters (pre-disturbance) to6those where otters had been reintroduced (post-disturbance). It was found that genetic diversitywas higher in the areas with otters. Foster argues that genetic richness is of central importancehere because it is crucial to resilience (恢复力)

29、and the evolution of clonal organism. Why? Theprimary mode of expansion for eelgrass is clonal growth, but sea otter digging stimulates sexualreproduction in the flowering plant and opens up areas for the seeds to settle.Even though disturbance enhances the diversity and dynamics of many of the worl

30、dsecosystems, its influence on genetic diversity remains poorly appreciated. The amount ofdisturbance that was observed in the eelgrass fields was relatively low: about 5% of the seafloorhad foraging pits, although the pits last only for a short time, and visual observations likelyunderestimate the

31、amount of activity. The disturbance theory, presented in 1978 on the basis ofevidence from tropical forests and coral reefs, is well known to ecologists. Early studies showedthat disturbance could increase species diversity, but researches on the effects of disturbance ongenetic diversity are relati

32、vely rare.The role of sea otters in eelgrass fields provides insights into how genetic diversity can changewhen species interactions are lost and how these patterns can be restored. Without sea otters,genetic diversity appears to decline; when they return, so does diversity. Sea otters were extirpat

33、edfrom much of their range during intense commercial harvests in the 18th and 19th centuries. Astheir range expanded in the 1960s and 1970s after the disturbance, and their habitats became betterunderstood, sea otters became symbolic species in ecology.The role of sea otters in biogeochemical proces

34、ses such as the carbon cycle has gainedattention in recent years. During the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration(2021-2030), more attention should be paid to rebuilding animal populations and the keyecological functions they provide.28. We can learn from the passage that _.A. eelgrass eco
