全球气候变化与红树林

因为红树林位于海洋与陆地之间，其可能是首先被全球气候变化影响的生态系统。红树林的分布会随着温度气温的升高而增加。全球气候变化对红树林最重要的影响是海平面的变化。随着CO2的增多，大部分的红树林有高的光合作用率、水的利用效率以及生长率。在相对低的光照条件下，红树林的光合作用率相对较高。最后提出了今后尚待加强的一些研究领域。

Global climate change and mangrove

Mangrove locates at the interface between land and sea, and is likely to be one of the first ecosystems to be affected by global climate change. Its distribution area would be enlarged with raising temperature. The most important effects of global climate change on it would be the rising sea levels. Most mangroves will benefit from increased CO2 via higher photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, and growth rate. At relatively low light level, the photosynthetic rate of mangroves tends to increase. The strategies to deal with these changes were put forward.
