造礁石珊瑚群落结构研究的概况、问题和前景

General situation, problems and prospects of studies on Scleratinian coral community structure

造礁石珊瑚作为珊瑚礁生态系统中的关键生物类群，其群落结构是珊瑚礁系统研究中的一个重要方面。本文回顾了２０余年以来世界各国对造礁石珊瑚群落结构研究所取得的主要进展和认识，指出了目前研究中存在的问题并分析了不同空间范围研究结论之间的缺乏一致性和中等干扰假说的不足。最后，结合珊瑚礁生态系统基础理论和应用发展的需求，本文探讨了造礁石珊瑚群落结构研究的前景。

This paper synthesizes major developments and conclusions of studies on Scleratinian coral communitystructure in last 20 years in the world,puts forward the problems exiting in the studies and analyses thecauses of unconsistence in the studies of different spatial scales and the flaws of 'intermediate disturbancehypothesis';Finally,combining with need's of the development of basic theortical and applied studies,thispaper probes into the prospects of the studies on Sceratinian coral community structure.
