不该遗忘的刘慎谔:动态地植物学思想对当前植被生态学与生物多样性研究的启示

The neglected giant Tchen-Ngo Liou:The enlightenment of his dynamic geobotany theory to current studies in vegetation ecology and biodiversity

刘慎谔先生是我国植物学、地植物学和森林生态学研究的开拓者和奠基人之一。他的动态地植物学思想萌芽于在法国留学期间往阿尔卑斯山开展的博士论文工作;回国之后,先后在我国西北、西南、华北、东北等及印度、朝鲜等野外考察,在此基础之上逐渐形成,在1962年举办的“动态地植物学”讲习会上形成完整的体系。该思想核心在于对植被“顶极”学说和群落演替理论的深入认识与总结,并将这一理论很好地应用到解决我国人工植被建立、自然植被改造、森林采伐更新、治沙等实际问题中。本文先对该思想予以介绍与总结,在此基础之上指出了其对我国当前植被生态学与生物多样性研究中一些重要问题(山地生物多样性、天然林保护、森林经营管理、全球变化、植被区划)的启示。

Prof.Tchen-Ngo Liou is one of the founders of China’s botany,geobotany,and forest ecology.Theory of dynamic geobotany,established by Prof.Liou,can track back from his doctoral work in Alps in France,and was developed based on his long-term field works in northeast,southeast,north,northeast parts of China,India,North Korea and other regions.In the short course on dynamics geobotany in 1962,he gave a series of lectures which formed a synthesized system.The key elements of this theory are the comprehensive review and critical thinking on climax theory of vegetation science and community succession.Prof.Liou has applied this theory into the establish-ment of artificial vegetation,the improvement of natural vegetation,forest harvesting and regeneration,and the pre-vent and control of desertification in China.Here,we gave a short summary about this theory,and discussed its po-tential influence on important topics in vegetation ecology and biodiversity science,including mountain biodiversity,natural forest conservation,forest management,global change,and vegetation classification.
