区域生态学的国际起源和研究热点

20世纪80年代以来，区域生态学迅速发展，成为生态学领域重要的分支学科。本文综述了区域生态学的国际起源、发展脉络，以及主要研究热点，对比了国内外区域生态学研究的区别以及对国内区域生态学发展的启示。分析表明，在国际上，区域生态学的研究热点主要集中在生物多样性保护、区域气候变化影响、生态系统服务、城市生态学、区域生态修复和可持续发展等方面。由于国情以及学科发展进度不同，国内外区域生态学研究在关注问题、研究思路和研究手段上存在区别。国内区域生态学受学科起步较晚、相关数据的质、量和利用率较低及对方法和模型研究尚浅的影响，未来研究要在深度利用遥感数据的基础上，加强学科理论和方法的学习，重点关注气候变化影响生态过程的机理、生态模型优化、全国生态系统服务评估与定价、区域生态安全以及区域可持续发展规划。

International origin and research hotspots of regional ecology

Regional ecology has developed rapidly since 1980 and already become a principal branch of ecology. This article summarizes the international origin, development and research hotspots of regional ecology, compares the differences between domestic and foreign regional ecology research, and provides enlightenment to the development of domestic regional ecology. The analysis shows that international regional ecology hotspots mainly focus on biodiversity protection, the impact of regional climate change, ecosystem services, urban ecology, regional ecological restoration and sustainable development. Due to the difference of national conditions and progress of discipline development, there are differences between domestic and foreign regional ecological study in terms of concerns, ideas and methods. Domestic regional ecology is affected by the late start of discipline, the low quality, quantity and utilization of relevant data and the shallow research on methods and models. Future research should strengthen the learning of theories and methods based on deep utilization of remote sensing data, and focus on how climate change affects ecological processes, optimization of ecological models, assessment and pricing of national ecosystem services, regional ecological security and regional sustainable development planning.
