澳大利亚牡蛎珊瑚礁正在利用模仿自然分形结构的人工基质来恢复,从而提高牡蛎的生存能力。 Australian oyster reefs are being restored using artificial substrates that mimic natural fractal structures, boosting oyster survival.

澳大利亚牡蛎珊瑚礁曾经广泛但因历史收获和开发而严重枯竭,现在正在以新的科学见解来恢复。 Australian oyster reefs, once widespread but severely depleted by historical harvesting and development, are being restored with new scientific insights. 由Macqarie大学牵头进行的一项研究发现,当人工基质模仿由活生生牡蛎及其贝壳构成的健康珊瑚礁的自然分形几何结构时,牡蛎存活率大为改善。 A study led by Macquarie University found that oyster survival improves significantly when artificial substrates mimic the natural fractal-like geometry of healthy reefs, formed by living oysters and their shells. 研究人员在悉尼三个河口测试了16个混凝土瓷砖设计,发现最接近于天然珊瑚礁结构的结构在支持牡蛎定居和增长方面最成功,突出了在恢复努力中复制自然结构的重要性。 Researchers tested 16 concrete tile designs in three Sydney estuaries, discovering that those most closely resembling natural reef structures had the highest success in supporting oyster settlement and growth, highlighting the importance of replicating nature’s architecture in restoration efforts.
