Respect for dormant

Hibernation, winter hibernation, summer hibernation, etc. are ways to survive harsh environments. I feel the amazingness of their survival strategies to lower their body temperature and survive in a low metabolic state. I pay my respects to hibernation, which is synchronized with the cycle of the earth.

Respect for Geospace

The range of influence of the Earth's magnetic field reaches an altitude of 60,000 km, and this space is called geospace. It forms a huge radiation belt, a huge ring current, and a huge plasma belt, and sometimes behaves like a living organism, protecting the Earth from the solar wind.

Respect for the tetrahedron

Among all polyhedrons made up of regular polygons, the regular tetrahedron has the smallest number of faces and edges. Many crystals have tetrahedral gaps, and ice, diamonds, and rocks in the earth's crust have molecular structures of regular tetrahedrons. In homage to the regular tetrahedrons of rocks in the earth's crust, which are strong enough to support the earth,

Respect for flight

Flying is a phenomenon that moves through space against gravity. Snakes, frogs, and bats fly by spreading their flying membranes, spiders use silk to ride the wind, and a plant called Alsomithra launches its seeds like gliders. This is a tribute to the ability of flight that various living creatures have acquired.

Respect for the extremophiles

Extremophiles live in environments where normal organisms would never be able to survive. These include freezing temperatures, temperatures approaching 100°C, strong acids and alkalis, high salinity and water pressure, strong radiation and organic solvents, etc. In tribute to extremophiles, microorganisms that live and connect all over the Earth.

Respect for ecosystem engineers

Wild animals that change the environment are called ecosystem engineers. Beavers build dams, and elephants create paths and pools in the forest. Woodpeckers dig holes in trees, giant armadillos dig soil, and sea urchins carve rocks to create habitats for many living things. In honor of ecosystem engineers,

Respect for the sixth sense

In homage to the sixth sense, a perception other than the five senses of touch, hearing, sight, taste, and smell. The sixth sense is the ability of various living organisms to detect energy such as magnetic fields, electric fields, heat, ultrasound, carbon dioxide, and vibrations.

Respect for the mountains

Mountain areas are supposed to be harsh environments with low temperatures, low air pressure, dry conditions, and strong ultraviolet rays. However, they are actually the source of biodiversity and support many ecosystems. In tribute to the mountains that produce rain and wind, creating a magnificent cycle of life,

Respect for soil aggregate

Soil with a granular structure is said to create rich soil. Water flows up, down, left and right through the gaps between the granules, achieving both water retention and drainage, which are difficult to achieve at the same time, and creating excellent breathability and fertilizer retention. In honor of the earthworms and granules that create these granules,

Respect for Ecosystem Paradox

Paradox is used to mean contradiction, something that is intuitively unacceptable, a dilemma, etc. There are many paradoxes in ecosystems, and perhaps coming into contact with paradoxes allows us to feel the profound depths of the workings of nature. In homage to the mysterious ecosystem paradoxes
