Définition

  • At the Elkhorn Slough Visitor's Center at the head of Monterey Bay, California, is a diorama that shows a shorebird standing in a bucket of mud taken from the adjacent slough. After asking visitors to estimate how many and what kinds of organisms might live in this much mud, the diorama offers an estimate of 500 billion bacteria, 500 million diatoms, 50,000 protozoa, 50,027 worms, 5,000 crustaceans, 39 clams—plus the bird.
