沅江流域森林变迁历史文献及研究综述

A Review of Historical Literature and Research on Forest Change in Yuanjiang River Basin

沅江流域面积广阔,地跨湘、鄂、黔、渝,连接苗岭、武陵山、雪峰山三大林区,历代皆为中国南方重要的林木产地。当地各族人民在长期生产实践过程中,留下了大量丰富的林业历史文献。过去学界在该领域的研究重心集中在上游的清水江流域,且研究成果较为分散,未能反映出沅江流域森林整体的历史变迁过程。今后应加强对沅江流域其他区域的研究,发掘各区域间森林变迁的原因、关联及影响,以期更好地为当今林业发展和生态建设提供经验借鉴。

The Yuanjiang River Basin covers a vast area, spanning Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou and Chongqing, linking Miaoling, Wulingshan and Xuefengshan forestry areas. It has been an important forest producing area in southern China in past dynasties. In the long-term production practice,the local people of all nationalities have created a large number of forestry historical documents. In the past, the academic research in this field was focused on the upper reaches of Qingshui River Basin, and the research results were scattered,which failed to reflect the overall historical forest change process of Yuanjiang River Basin. Looking forward to the future,we should strengthen the study of other areas in Yuanjiang River Basin and explore the causes,relations and impacts of forest changes in different areas,so as to provide better experience for forestry development and ecological construction.
