生态系统健康与生物多样性

Ecosystem health and biodiversity

生态系统健康学是一门研究人类活动、社会组织、自然系统及人类健康的整合性学科,主要探讨资源环境管理对策,以及生态系统健康与人类健康的关系。生态系统健康是人类健康的基础,是人类可持续发展的重要前提,维护生态系统健康,保护生物多样性,也就是维护人类生存的机会。人类健康依附于健康的生态系统功能和服务日益为人们所认识,关注和理解生物多样性、生态系统健康、人类健康之间的相互联系已成为全球可持续发展的必要条件。本文着重综述了生态系统健康的研究内容及全球环境变化背景下生物多样性的变化对生态系统健康的影响效应。

Ecosystem health is a new field based on the integration and infiltration of natural science,social science and health science.It deals with implementing strategies in natural resources,environmental management and the relationship between ecosystem health and human health.Ecosystem health is an important premise for human health and the sustainable development of society.As recognition about the dependence of human health and well-being on ecosystem functions and services is being strengthen, it is necessary to understand the linkages and interdependencies among biodiversity(the species that make up the structure of ecosystems)and ecosystem health(the functioning and performance of the ecosystem)and human health(the functioning and well-being of the dominant species in the current global ecosystem).Understanding these linkages is a necessary condition for achieving globar sustainability.In this paper,the origination and advancement of ecosystem health are reviewed as well as the concept and main research contents.The effect of changes in biodiversity on ecosystem health under the human alteration of global environmental change is reviewed.
