In Memoriam: FISHERMAN'S PASSION AND OPEN NATURE..
- FLOR DE CEIBO ( Erythrina crista-galli.) La Flor Nacional de Argentina
HORACIO PATRONE: NIKON D 500 LENS NIKOR AF-S 300/4 D IF ED + NIKON TC 1.4- RESERVA PARQUE SARMIENTO,BUENOS AIRES - ARGENTINA-INFO: from the friend Ramon Roman Montero ... although the Ceibo is an emblematic species in Argentina (national flower) and that is cultivated as an ornament for parks and public walks, the majority of the population does not know the main biological function of this species, which is to help balance coastal environments.
The roots of this species are pivoting, with knots produced by nitrifying bacteria that live in symbiosis, facilitating the absorption of the nitrogen they fix, while taking the organic substances that it elaborates. Its roots are very strong -the main ones stand out- and are affirmed to the ground, counteracting the erosion caused by the waters. Ceibo seeds are transported by water, germinating in places such as sandbars, where they help stabilize the land to form new islands.
We can conclude then that this species is essential for coastal environments - besides that not any tree can be present in them. The negligence in these cases, is the one that causes negative consequences, such as floods and disappearance of species, among other types of imbalances.
