景观生态界面综合研究及展望

Review on the Synthetic Study of Ecological Boundaries in Landscape Mosaics

本文通过景观生态界面概念及研究方法的介绍,对不同生态系统和尺度下的生态界面结构和功能研究进行阐述,内容主要涉及:生态界面理论框架、界面类型分类、界面潜在生态功能研究以及不同生态系统、生态过程和尺度中统计学和模拟方法的应用,旨在为提高景观生态界面综合研究水平提供参考,并对未来生态界面研究进行展望。

In this paper, we introduced a collection of articles that proposed conceptual and methodological tools to improve the integrated study of ecological boundaries. Meanwhile, we also reviewed a number of studies that have been conducted to understand the structure and function of ecological boundaries in land- scape mosaics across different ecological systems and scales. To integrate these disparate studies and to ad- vance future synthetic research on ecological boundaries, the context of this paper involved a common theo- retical framework, a classification of ecological boundaries, their potential functions, and statistical and modeling approaches. Their application to a wide range of systems, processes,and scaleswere further summarized and discussed. And suggestions to guide future research of ecological boundary in landscape mosaics are proposed here.
