红树林湿地模型研究进展

红树林是位于海岸潮间带的森林湿地生态系统,具有抗风削浪、保护堤岸、封存CO2缓解全球气候变化等多种功能。然而,由于地理位置及生存环境特殊,红树林湿地模型的研究相对内陆湿地滞后。为了推动红树林湿地模型的研究,本文将目前常见红树林湿地模型按功能划分为植被生长生产模型、水文模型、物流能流模型三类,以阐述相关模型研究的进展,并对目前红树林湿地模型研究提出几点看法:(1)现有红树林湿地模型在不同区域、尺度下运行的有效性有待进一步验证;(2)国内对红树林生态系统服务及植被恢复工作相关模型研究较少,今后需加强该方面的研究。

Research advance of mangrove wetlands models

Mangroves,forested wetland ecosystems located along the coasts,have various ecological functioning including reducing the energy of wind and current,protecting coastlines,and sequestering carbon dioxide to mitigate global climate change.Due to the special geographical environment of their habitats,studies on mangrove wetland model are still limited compared to inland wetland.To promote the researches on mangrove wetland models,we classified current models in mangrove studies into three types based on their function,including vegetation growth and production models,hydrological models,and material and energy flow models.We further reviewed the research progress of related models.We proposed that:(1)the effectiveness of current mangrove wetland models in different regions and scales should be further verified,and(2)further investigation should focus on model researches related to ecosystem services and vegetation restoration projects.
