Efficiency of reforestation and plant distribution by elephants
Achara Phanurat*
That's elephant poop. Therefore, it is valuable for creating new plant life, including many types of microorganisms that are beneficial to young plants and for decomposing feces.
In this case, water in the feces Carbon dioxide gas absorbed by seeds and sunlight. Under the kinetic energy during defecation of elephants. The phenomenon of complete photosynthesis occurs. Until the feces are left as dry fibers suitable for cultivating seeds and young roots of young plants and are a delicacy for small and large animals in the food chain of the forest ecosystem.
Humans may forget to think about the value of the environment. If elephants could talk. He probably told us not to eat the seeds. Better to plant forests.....but with the values of the business world. Currently, the most expensive coffee in the world is civet coffee and elephant dung coffee.
These are coffee beans that use the digestive and food transport systems of animals to cultivate the coffee to have good taste and aroma.
Then it was washed thoroughly. Before being peeled and roasted, ready to be packed in boxes for further trading.
Planting seeds or seedlings. It takes farmers 5-7 days for plants to sprout from seed. Photosynthesis occurs to germinate and elongate stems. Until the young roots are able to hold onto the ground or other fibers.
If we compare the cultivation of seeds in an elephant's body, since the day the food and seeds were eaten until it is excreted as feces and photosynthesizes into a young plant, it takes no more than three days only.
That is, elephants are wonderful animals. Effective in creating forests. Create the right ecosystem and diversify plants.
