我国喀斯特植被根系生态学研究进展

我国传统的植被根系生态学研究主要针对热带、亚热带、温带以及西部干旱半干旱的非喀斯特地区，而对喀斯特地区植被根系生态学的研究甚少，对其认识相对零散和片段化。该文对我国喀斯特地区植被生境特点、根系特征（根系生物量、根系构型、根系化学养分）、自然因子和人为因子对根系生态学特征的影响，以及植被根系与植被演替、碳循环、全球变化的关系等进行综述，并对今后喀斯特地区植被根系的研究方向及发展趋势进行展望，旨在为我国喀斯特植被根系生态学的深入研究提供参考。

Research progress in root ecology of karst vegetation in China

Traditional research on root ecology of vegetation in China has mainly focused on tropical, subtropical, temperate, arid, and semi-arid non-karst areas in the west of China. To date, little research has been conducted on the root ecology of vegetation in karst areas, and current understanding is relatively fragmented. In this paper, the vegetation habitat characteristics, root system characteristics (root biomass, architecture, chemical nutrients), effects of natural and human factors on root ecological characteristics, and relationship between vegetation root and vegetation succession, carbon cycle, and global change are reviewed. We also discuss future research directions and development trends of vegetation root systems in karst areas. This study aims to provide a reference for further research on karst vegetation root ecology in China.
