What is the concept of biological landscape tourism resources?

1. Biological landscape tourism resources and their characteristics

1. Biological landscape tourism resources and their types

Biology is the general term for living objects on the surface of the earth. , can be divided into animals, plants and microorganisms according to their properties. According to statistics, there are about 2,000,000 species of organisms that have been discovered, recorded and named, which makes nature present a colorful biological scene. As a tourism resource, biological landscape mainly refers to various processes and phenomena composed of animals, plants and their related living environments.

With its complex shape and variability shown by its own life rhythm, biological landscape constitutes the entity of tourism landscape and is the most distinctive type of natural tourism resources.

2. Characteristics of biological landscape tourism resources

(1) Extensiveness and diversity

Refers to the extensive spatial distribution of biological landscape tourism resources and diversity. Our country is extremely rich in biological resources, including many unique, unique and rare species that are mainly distributed in our country. According to statistics, there are currently more than 30,000 higher plants in my country; there are about 27,150 kinds of vascular plants; and more than 50 unique trees, among which ginkgo, water pine, metasequoia, golden pine, and silver fir are called "living fossils of plants" ".

Our country is also rich in animal resources. There are about 2,000 kinds of terrestrial vertebrates, including about 1,189 kinds of birds, nearly 500 kinds of mammals, about 320 kinds of reptiles, and amphibians. There are more than 210 species. There are many terrestrial vertebrates in the world that are endemic to or mainly produced in my country, such as red-crowned cranes, pheasants, golden monkeys, antelopes, etc. There are also some relict species that remain after the Quaternary glaciers, such as giant pandas, alligators, giant salamanders, white-tip dolphins, etc., all of which are extremely precious species resources.

(2) Organic nature of life

The geology, landforms, hydrology and other elements in natural tourism resources are all inorganic substances, and the landscapes composed of them also have dynamic and static changes. , but this dynamic change is mainly a natural movement process under the action of internal and external forces, and is inanimate. Animals and plants are living organisms, and their existence adds vitality to nature. For example, thousands of birds on the bird islands in Qinghai Lake make the originally lonely desert landscape lively and full of vitality.

(3) Indicative

Since all elements of physical geography are closely interconnected and interdependent, the development of each element is not independent, but ** * Yoke is carried out, based on this interconnection between various elements, one link in the natural environment can be used to determine the remaining links. Among the various components of physical geography, organisms, especially plants, are most responsive to the influence of other factors and have the greatest expressiveness. For example, the normal flowering and fruiting of coconuts is a sign of tropical climate; the temperate grassland landscape is a sign of temperate continental climate.

(4) Seasonality

Seasonality refers to the characteristics of seasonal tourism landscapes formed by the changes in the form and spatial location of organisms with seasonal changes. Different plants bloom in different seasons, such as plum blossoms in winter, chrysanthemums in autumn, etc. The leaf colors of many plants also change with the seasons. For example, the leaves of ginkgo are green in spring and summer and yellow in autumn. The coat color of some animals also changes with the seasons. For example, in winter, in order to match the color of the snow, the ptarmigan's feathers will fade to white as a protective color against enemies. Many animals, such as migratory birds, butterflies, reindeer, etc., migrate regularly with the seasons in order to find better and more comfortable living environments, resulting in the phenomenon of biological spatial locations changing with the seasons.

(5) Regenerability

Regenerability is determined by the organism’s own fecundity, tamability and spatial mobility. On the basis of the reproducibility of organisms, people use the domestication and spatial mobility characteristics of organisms to locally change the ecological environment conditions, and use artificial intervention methods to domesticate, transplant, raise, and cultivate many animals and plants to form Artificial biological landscape. For example, our country has protected the endangered giant panda and its living environment through human efforts, and presented it as a precious gift to many countries, so that more people can witness this precious "living fossil."

(6) Vulnerability

Fragility refers to the characteristics of organisms and natural ecosystems that are subject to increased stress and are relatively fragile in their ability to resist interference. Disastrous environmental changes have caused the death of many organisms and even the extinction of species. For example, the catastrophic environment during the Cretaceous period caused the extinction of the dinosaurs that dominated for a while.

2. Biological landscape and tourism

1. Biology is an important component of natural landscape

2. Biology is the soft material for constructing artificial landscape and optimizing tourism environment. Quality materials

3. Biological organisms make tourism projects more colorful

Some animals and plants can become the characteristics of certain tourist destinations, such as the "wonderful pines" in Huangshan, my country, and the piano playing in Mount Emei. Frogs attract tourists to come and watch them. Some tourist destinations use certain plants to carry out or host tourism activities. Such as the "Red Flower Festival" in Fiji, the "Keckenhof" Flower Festival in the Netherlands, the "Maple Sugar Festival" in Canada, the "Sophora Flower Festival" in Dalian, my country, the "Chrysanthemum Fair" in Xiaolan, Guangdong, and the "Chrysanthemum Festival" in Shenzhen and Conghua. "Lychee Festival" and so on. Animals with different lifestyles are trained to perform thrilling and interesting performances, bringing joy to visitors. Such as Thailand, the "Land of Elephants", and the Wildlife Park in Shenzhen, my country.
