Wildlife experts equate golf with Mediterranean forests. Marbella (Malaga), Feb 9 () .- A group of biologists from the University of Malaga (UMA) has compared the fauna of the golf courses of the Costa del Sol that are watered recycled water, the Mediterranean forests, pastures, crops agrcolas, cork forests and steppes.
This is one of the conclusions of a study on biodiversity in coastal golf courses from Malaga to the public company of water-dependent Association of Municipalities, ff14 gil, of the Costa del Sol instructed the Department of Biolog animals of the UMA.
From the research that has been made in golf Flamingos, Los Arqueros, Montemayor, Marbella Club and Capanes, it follows, according to Seal it has a degree in Biological and team member Jess Duarte, that "biodiversity in irrigated golf courses with reclaimed water is very high."
In this sense, Duarte, as CEO, sto gold, Jose Bernal Acosol have detailed that "the diversity of birds is comparable with that of the Mediterranean forest."
In this regard they added-that "the diversity of insects, mostly feathered, it is also very high, and have clarified that" in the fields of artificial lakes abound and many invertebrates, aquatic birds. "
Another conclusion is that the report extrados golf courses irrigated with reclaimed, everquest ii gold, water "are areas of reproduction of reptiles and amphibians, and provide food for endangered species and wildlife lot of interest in Andalusia as such as the otter. "
Duarte explained that the golf courses have a structure in ecological terms is known as "ecotone" which favors the existence of "a multitude of resources for animal species" and therefore "no wonder results. "
On the other hand,, fallen earth power leveling, the biologist of the UMA has stressed that "to have water all year round on a golf course is very important for wildlife" for "in any Mediterranean ecosystem, the limiting factor is the water. "
Has added-in this sense that "what makes a species to reproduce or migrate from one area to another is that there is water or not."
For its part, Bernal explained that this research is a work born of the "need to know the effect on the fauna of the golf courses have recycled or reclaimed water."
