贡嘎山高山生态系统观测试验和研究进展

Advances in Observation and Studies on Gongga Station of Alpine Ecosystem in Recent 20 Years

贡嘎山高山生态系统观测试验站于1987年正式建站。近20 a来,开展了水、土、气、生等多方面的长期监测与试验,并以环境变化下的亚高山森林生态研究为主线,以生态过程和水文过程为核心,对贡嘎山及其邻近地区的现代自然生态环境特征、森林生态系统结构与功能、冰冻圈演化与动态和第四纪以来的环境演变等展开了多学科研究,为推动我国山地科学和森林生态研究发展做出了重要贡献。在对近20 a来贡嘎山站的研究成果进行总结的基础上,提出了今后应重点加强研究的领域。

The Gongga Station of Alpine Ecosystem was formally set up in 1987. The observation and experiment about water, soil, climate and biology were carried out in recent 20 years. The sub-alpine forest ecosystem under environment changes was the motif through most studies focusing on ecological process and hydrological process. In the Gongga Mountain area, the conducted studies included eco-environmental characteristics, structures and func- tion of forest ecosystem, change of glacier and frozen soil, and environment change from Quaternary period to now. These researches are important contributions to development of mountain science and forest ecology in China. In the paper, we summarize study results of Gongga Station in recent 20 years and suggest some important study field in the future.
