Succession is influenced by many factors: the nature of the soil, exposure to sun and wind, regularity of precipitation, chance colonizations, and many other random processes.

演替受到许多因素的影响：土壤的性质、暴露于阳光和风中的时间、降水的规律性、偶然的殖民和许多其他随机因素。

We can imagine the unchanging sounds of nature - wind, rain, sea, river - but for us, history is silent.

我们可以想象大自然里永恒不变的声音——风声雨声，或苍海河流的涛声依旧。 然而历史对于我们，却是沉默的。

While presently only 0.03 TW of energy was extracted from wind in 2008, and there is room for a considerable expansion of this technology with relatively insignificant effects on the climate, any future expansion on a global scale must take account that the potential for extraction of wind energy is finite according to the nature of the Earth system.

The leaders of countries that have spent heavily on solar and wind assumed that the erratic nature of these sources, and that the lack of storage, can be compensated by installing the facilities over a broad geographical area.

But the intermittent nature of wind power can cause just that sort of variability.
