生态地貌学研究动态:地貌学和生态系统生态学的交叉融合

生态地貌学作为一个“新兴”的跨学科的概念，受到地貌学家、生态学家及政策制定者的日益关注。地貌在控制许多生态系统过程中起着基础性的作用，而生态系统又可以对许多地貌形态和地貌过程产生深远的影响。过去几十年，在地貌学和生态系统生态学的交叉点上开展了大量的研究。通过梳理地貌学和生态系统生态学相似的发展历程，讨论了两个学科相结合的必要性；归纳了两者相结合的研究现状；总结了两个学科融合研究过程中存在的问题；提出未来需要进一步加强对地貌过程与生态过程相互作用的研究，并将生态地貌学与现行生态保护与生态修复建设及相关政策有机结合，促进生态地貌学的有序和可持续发展。正确认识地球的地貌形态与生态系统之间的关系，有助于拓展地貌学与生态系统生态学的研究尺度，促进学科体系发展；深入研究生态地貌学，对于维持生态平衡，保护生态多样性及增强未来对生态系统的管理和恢复都有重要意义。

Preliminary study on eco-geomorphology research dynamic: the interdisciplinary science of geomorphology and ecosystem ecology

As an emerging interdisciplinary concept, ecological geomorphology has obtained increasing attention from geomorphologists, ecologists and policy-makers. Geomorphology plays a fundamental role in controlling many ecosystem processes, and in turn, ecosystem can have a profound influence on many geomorphic forms and processes. Over the past few decades, a lot of research had been carried out at the interface of geomorphology and ecosystem ecology. By combing the similarity of development process between geomorphology and ecosystem ecology, this paper discussed the necessity of combining the two disciplines and summarized the research status of the combination. The paper also summarized the issues existing in the process of the integration, and pointed out that it is necessary to further strengthen the research on the mechanism of interaction between the geomorphic process and ecological process in the future. It should also organically combine ecological geomorphology with the current ecological protection and ecological restoration construction and the related policies to promote the orderly and sustainable development of ecological geomorphology. A correct understanding of the relationship between geomorphology and ecosystem of the earth will help to expand the research scale of geomorphology and ecology, and promote the development of discipline system. In-depth study of ecological geomorphology is of great significance for maintaining ecological balance, protecting ecological diversity and enhancing future management and restoration of ecosystem.
