分形理论在湿地科学中的应用现状与前景展望

Application of Fractal Theory in Wetland Science

分形理论是解决复杂性问题的独特理论体系。该文概述分形理论及湿地科学的性质和学科体系,将分形理论在我国湿地科学中的应用归结为5个领域,即湿地生物与生态学、湿地景观学、湿地土壤学、湿地地貌学和湿地沉积学。鉴于分形理论自身的不完善性以及当前湿地分形研究内容的不均衡性、不广泛性和不深入性等,分形理论及其在湿地科学中的应用依然面临很大的机遇与挑战。最后就分形理论在湿地科学中的应用前景进行展望,指出它的应用必将促进湿地研究的纵深化,并为湿地科学学科体系的发展做出重要贡献。

Fractal theory is a special theory system to settle ,sophisticated problems. It has widely and successfully applied in almost every field of natural sciences and social sciences. This paper originally introduces the main contents of the fractal theory and the character and subject system of wetland science. Then, it reduces the main applied fields in wetland science to five aspects, that is, wetland biology and ecology, wetland landscape, wetland agrology, wetland physiognomy and wetland sedimentology. Because fractal theory is not perfect, and the contents in current wetland fractal research are not balanceable, universal and deep etc, fractal theory and its application in wetland science are still confronted with great opportunity and challenge. Finally, this paper forecasts the application prospect of the fractal theory in wetland science, and indicates that its application will promote the depth of wetland quantitative research and contribute to the development of the subject system of wetland science.
