中国生态学期刊现状分析

通过对我国12种主要生态学期刊的出版指标、引用指标和网络传播能力的现状分析,得出《生态学报》、《应用生态学报》、《植物生态学报》和《生态学杂志》已经成为我国生态学期刊的第一方阵,出版能力和引用表现都要优于其他期刊,但是期刊特色不明显。生态学期刊已经不能满足生态学快速发展的需要,应该有新的期刊来承载新生分支学科的内容,同时生态学期刊需要进一步加强网络传播能力的建设。最重要的是生态学期刊应该从散落在其他学科的状态中聚集起来形成生态学期刊集群。

生态学试验设计与解释中的常见问题

一个"好"的试验,统计检验的显著差异可证明处理效应存在;而一个"坏"的试验,统计检验的显著差异本身并不能证明处理效应的真实存在.试验单位的不独立就可能使干扰因素偏倚地影响试验结果,是多种形式的伪重复的根本原因.如果不统筹地考虑试验方法和数据分析方法,环境要素的时空格局就可能被错误地当成处理效应.以案例分析的形式探讨了中国生态学试验设计与解释中常见的3个问题:(1)简单伪重复问题,这是Hurlbert[2]早已指出的伪重复情形中的一种,通常是把取样的重复当成了处理的重复;(2)把反复测量结果当成重复的问题,即对同一个对象的反应变量前后进行多次观测,却把这些观测值视为重复而进行统计检验所造成的问题;(3)混淆时空效应与处理效应的问题,由于取样方法(破坏性取样)或者研究对象(例如流动的水体)性质的特殊性等原因,数据中所体现出来的格局有可能由于时空效应而并非处理效应所造成.在这3种情况下,数据的产生方式与所用统计方法的前提相违背.

全球变化背景下生态学热点问题研究——第二届"国际青年生态学者论坛"

为促进中国青年生态学者与海外生态学者的交流与合作,第二届"国际青年生态学者论坛"于2011年8月1—4日在南京大学举行。来自海内外近400名学生和青年学者,围绕"全球变化背景下生态学热点问题"主题,分别从植物群落学、植物生理生态学、地下生态学、水生态系统、生物入侵、生物多样性、区域生态安全等7个方面进行了交流与讨论,本届论坛报告反映了在全球变化背景下,我国生态学在研究领域、内容、尺度、方法上的发展现状与进展。以会议收集的95篇摘要为基础,重点综述了27场青年学者论坛报告内容,并对会议的进一步完善提出了几点建议。
