中国森林生物多样性监测网络(CForBio):二十年进展与展望

The Chinese Forest Biodiversity Monitoring Network:20-year achievements and outlook

大型森林动态监测样地是研究群落尺度森林动态变化的最优途径之一。中国森林生物多样性监测网络(CForBio)始建于2004年,是全球森林生物多样性监测网络(ForestGEO)最活跃的组成部分之一。CForBio森林动态监测样地一般为20ha,同时建立3-5个1-3ha辅助样地,以统一技术规范对胸径≥1 cm的木本植物进行定位监测,旨在长期监测中国主要森林类型的生物多样性格局与动态,研究其形成和维持机制。本文简要介绍了CForBio的概况、主样地建设、数据共享、能力建设、基于长期监测数据的主要科学发现以及科学支撑和服务,夯实CForBio监测与研究、拓展专题网络并加强能力建设,可为以监测数据为基础的森林生物多样性保护管理决策以及国际履约提供科学依据。

Background:Long-term observation of large-scale forest dynamics plot may be one of the best ways to understand the community scale dynamics of forests.Chinese Forest Biodiversity Monitoring Network(CForBio)was started to establish in 2004,and it is one of the most active part of Forest Global Earth Observatory(ForestGEO).Large-scale forest dynamics plots of CForBio are typically with a size of 20 ha,with three to five auxiliary plots with the size of 1-3 ha distributed across different vegetation areas.A standard protocol has been implemented for censusing woody plants with DBH(diameter at breast height)≥1 cm.The objectives of this network are to monitor the patterns and dynamics of biodiversity within typical zonal forests in China,and to investigate the mechanisms underlying the origin and maintenance of biodiversity in these forests.Review Results:This paper briefly introduces the overview of CForBio,the establishment of the large dynamics forest plot,data sharing,capacity building,major scientific findings,and evidence-based policy supports and biodiversity conservation.Continued efforts are crucial to enhance the monitoring and research activities of CForBio,broaden its thematic networks,and strengthen its capacity in the future.Perspectives:These endeavors will serve as the foundation for providing evidence-based support to policymakers and ensuring compliance with international conventions.
