海藻场生态系统及其工程学研究进展

Research progress on seaweed bed ecosystem and its engineering

海藻场生态系统是典型近岸生态系统之一,其独特的结构和功能使其生态系统生态学研究及其工程学研究在近年来日益引起国际学术界关注.本文着重介绍了海藻场生态系统的概念、基本结构、生态功能及其生态工程的概念与基本实施步骤等,并以美国、日本为例,介绍了发达国家的海藻场生态工程的研究与实践现状.结合我国现已开展的海藻场生态系统生态学的相关研究,呼吁我国尽快组织开展相关的基础研究,以期尽快发挥海藻场生态工程对我国海洋经济与科技发展的积极作用.

Seaweed bed ecosystem is one of the typical nearshore ecosystems. Because of its unique structure and function, the ecology and engineering of this ecosystem have received much attention around the world in recent years. In this paper, the concept, structure, and function of seaweed bed ecosystem, as well as the definition and implementing steps of seaweed bed ecosystem engineering were introduced, and the most recent development in the research of seaweed bed ecosystem in developed countries was reviewed, with the research projects in the United States and Japan as examples. More basic research in seaweed bed ecosystems in China was urgent to be conducted to promote the marine economy and the development of relevant sciences and technologies.
