生态系统工程与现代混农林业生产体系

当今世界面临着人口剧增,能源短缺和环境恶化等危机。在第三世界人口飞速增长,耕地需求扩大,毁林种粮,弃林从牧的问题十分严重,引起土壤肥力衰退,水土流失,气候失调,环境恶化,从而阻碍了农牧业的发展。为了保护森林,维护环境,解决农林、牧林业之间的矛盾,有效的途径就是将农、林、牧业有机地结合起来,建立林-农复合生态系统。因而发展农林业在国际上受到充分重视,早于1977年就成立了国际农林业研究中心(ICRAF),推动农林业的研究与生产。我国对农林业的研究与推广近年来也有长足的发展。预计农林业将成为现代农业和林业的发展趋势之一。为此,我们请南京林业大学熊文愈教授和姜志林教授负责组稿、审稿和修改论文,共汇集农林业的论文16篇。这些论文部分反映了当前我国农林业的理论研究工作和实际生产经验。现经本刊编辑,计划作为农林业专题在本刊分四期刊出,以引起广大读者对农林业的重视。在此我们对熊文愈和姜志林二位教授的积极支持表示衷心的感谢。

Ecosystem Engineering and Modern Agroforestry Production System.

Ecosystem engineering is a newly developed branch of system engineering. Its theory and methodology are mainly derived from system ecology and system engineering. Modern agroforestry could be defined as a sustainable land management system which is purposely designed to integrate agronomy, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and their intermediate processes into an optimized operational entirety for the maximum economic, ecological and social benefits, according to the principles, methods and techniques of ecosystem engineering and based on local socio-economic background, natural condition, technical level and characteristics of cultivated plants and bred animals.
