Trees that live near salmon streams grow 3x faster than normal trees in the area.

And it isn’t because of the extra water.

Every year, when millions of salmon migrate back from the ocean and into streams, back to their original spawning pool, they bring with them their own fat bodies, that are full of nutrients they’ve hoarded while at sea.

As they go up the streams, to their original grounds, they are picked off by numerous predators, particularly bears, who often take their kill up into trees to eat.

The remaining carcass is often left on the ground near the tree. And other remains often pass through the bear at nearby trees, still containing lots of nutrients.

鮭が遡上する川付近の木は同じエリアの木の3倍の速さで成長する。
これは何も余分な水のせいではない。
毎年、何百万尾の鮭が海から遡上し川に戻ってくる、卵を産んだその川目指して。その時たっぷりの脂肪を蓄えている、それは海ですくすくと育ってきた証拠だ。
彼らが川を上ってくる時、そうそこは生まれ故郷、沢山の捕食者、特に熊である。捕まえた鮭を捕え餌とする。
残った死骸は木の近くの地面に残されている。そして他の死骸も熊の通り道に置き去りにされている。そんな部分にも栄養素が残されているのだ。
