华南植物园与世界一流植物园的比较研究

植物园在植物科学研究、生物多样性保护和植物资源可持续利用中具有重要作用,也是公众教育和知识传播的重要平台,具有文化传承和历史延续性的功能。以中国科学院华南植物园、英国皇家植物园邱园和美国密苏里植物园为例,从物种保护、科学研究和科学传播3 个方面对植物园进行了全面的比较和分析,为华南植物园未来发展提出了一些建议,可为华南植物园乃至我国植物园的发展提供参考依据。

Comparative Studies between South China Botanical Garden and the First-class Botanical Gardens in the World

Botanical gardens are considered to have played an important role in the studies of plant science, biodiversity conservation and sustainable utilization of plant resources of the world. They are also served as public education and knowledge dissemination centers, and performed an important function in cultural inheritance and historical continuity. The South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK and the Missouri Botanical Garden, USA are comprehensively compared and analyzed in three aspects, i.e., species conservation, science research, and science communication. Some suggestions are put forward for the future development of South China Botanical Garden, which will have important reference value for the development of the Chinese botanical garden community in the future.
