中国森林附生维管植物多样性数据集

A dataset on the diversity of forest vascular epiphytes in China

附生维管植物是热带、亚热带湿性山地森林植物群落中物种最为丰富的类群之一,在维系森林生物多样性及生态系统功能与服务中发挥着重要作用,然而附生维管植物调查相对困难,在多样性调查和统计中往往被忽视,迄今为止我国尚缺乏全国范围的森林附生维管植物名录。本项研究基于已公开发布的数据库,搜集并整理了1982–2022年间的关于中国森林附生维管植物研究的文献书籍。首先,提取文献资料中的有效信息,依据物种2000中国节点的数据进行标准化校正,整理出中国森林附生维管植物共计49科246属1,739种,然后据此编写了相对准确、完整的中国森林附生维管植物物种名录。本名录作为我国第一个全国性森林附生维管植物名录,可为森林生物多样性保护工作提供重要的数据支持,并能为深入研究附生维管植物的进化生物学、生物地理学及宏观生态学等领域提供重要的基础信息。

Vascular epiphytes are abundant in tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems.Vascular epiphytes are often neglected in biodiversity surveys owing to the challenges they pose for investigators.There is no comprehensive national checklist of vascular epiphyte species in China so far.In this study,we reviewed the literature on Chinese vascular epiphytes from 1982 to 2022 and obtained the relevant information for epiphytes.We checked and corrected this information according to the data of Species 2000 China Node.Finally,we obtained the taxonomic and distribution information of 1,739 species of vascular epiphytes,belonging to 246 genera and 49 families.As the first national checklist of Chinese vascular epiphytes,this checklist can provide important data for forest biodiversity conservation,as well as the study of evolutionary biology,biogeography and macroecology,and other life science disciplines.
