中国退化湿地生态恢复(英文)

Ecological Restoration of Degraded Wetlands in China

湿地是地球上最重要的生态系统之一。然而,随着人口和经济的快速增长,加之长期过度开发已经使得我国的湿地生态系统已经不堪重负。因此,为了改善和恢复湿地的多种功能,如减缓径流、蓄洪防旱,净化水质等,在适当的地域恢复和重建湿地是当今我们面临的紧迫问题。本文从退化湿地生态恢复的基本概念入手,阐述了湿地恢复的基本原理以及湿地恢复的基本流程;以生态学原理为基础,分别阐述了退化湿地生态恢复的三个基本模式,以及退化湿地生态恢复的主要目标和基本策略;最后还对湿地恢复项目的评估和未来发展趋势进行了探讨。

Natural wetland is one of the most important ecosystems on the earth. However, the natural wetlands in China suffered great loss and degradation due to the rapid growth of human population and economy, together with the long-term over-exploitation. Therefore, improving and restoring wetlands＇ various functions, such as slowing the runoff, flood control and drought prevention, water purification and restoring and rebuilding wetlands in the appropriate geographical places are the pressing issues human face today. Based on the fundamental concepts of the wetland restoration, this article expounded its principles and guidelines, illustrated three basic modes, and summarized the main goal and basic strategy in China. Finally the assessment and future trends of the wetland restoration were discussed.
