城市森林景观格局与过程研究进展

大规模的城市化进程,改变了城市以及周边区域的景观格局,显著影响着城市森林生态系统的结构、过程与功能.景观尺度上的城市森林景观格局与生态过程研究已经成为当前城市森林学的研究热点.在阐明城市森林及其景观格局与过程概念的基础上,综述了国内外城市森林景观格局与过程的研究内容、研究方法的进展情况,指出了以下几个方面有望成为今后城市森林景观研究的发展方向:景观尺度上的城市森林系统能流、物质循环等生态学过程研究;城市森林景观格局演变的社会驱动力研究;基于生态服务功能的城市森林规划研究;半都市化地区的森林景观格局与过程研究;基于空间显式景观模型的城市森林景观格局与过程模块开发.

Progresses in urban forest and landscape pattern

Large-scale urbanization not only changes the landscape pattern of a city and its surrounding areas, but also has a significant impact on the structure and services of the urban forest ecosystem. The spatial distribution and ecological process of urban forest have already become hot spots of urban forestry research. This paper clarifies the concepts of landscape pattern and processes of urban forest. Our review of literature in this field reveals several areas of high likelihood to be the key research frontiers of urban forest landscape study in the near future. These prospective new frontiers are the ecological processes of urban forest system such as material cycling and energy flow, social driving force for landscape pattern evolution of urban forest, urban forest planning based on ecosystem services, forest landscape pattern and process in peri-urban areas, pattern and process module design of urban forest based on spatially explicit landscape models.
