2009年第五届“现代生态学讲座”国际会议综述

"现代生态学讲座"系列会议是由国内外华人生态学家联合发起、为加强现代生态学的新理论、新观点、新方法和热点问题的交流与合作的国际会议.总结了2009年6月27～29日在兰州大学举行的第五届现代生态学讲座国际会议的全部二十五场报告,围绕"宏观生态学和可持续发展科学"的会议主题,分别从森林生态学、草地生态学、全球变化生态学、根际和土壤生态学、分子和行为生态学以及农业生态学等角度进行了分类总结.全部报告可归纳为"生态系统服务功能的物质基础"和"生态系统服务的生态学机制"两个大的基础理论问题,而解决问题的途径必须在人类-自然耦合生态系统的大框架下进行探索.对该会议的进一步改善提出了一些建议.

Overview on the 5th International Symposium on Modern Ecology Series of 2009

The Symposium on Modern Ecology Series is an international symposium which is jointly launched by Chinese ecologists at home and abroad with the aim to strengthen exchange and collaboration in new theory, new perspectives, new methods and hot topics of modern ecology. This paper summarizes all the twenty-five presentations of the 5th International Symposium on Modern Ecology Series held in Lanzhou University during June 27-29 of 2009. The summary is briefly made from the perspectives of forest ecology, grassland ecology, global change ecology, rhizosphere and soil ecology, molecular and behavior ecology and agricultural ecology in the theme of "macroscopic ecology and sustainable science". All the topics can be concluded into two big fundamental theoretical questions, i.e. material basis of ecosystem service function and ecological mechanism of ecosystem service. And the approaches to solve the questions must be explored under the framework of coupled human and natural ecosystem. In the meantime, some suggestions are proposed towards future improvement of the series.
