苔藓植物分布及其物种多样性的研究评述

苔藓植物由于其重要的生态功能及其在植物界中的系统位置而日益受到人们的重视,但是随着全球气候的变化,其多样性受到严重的威胁。文中综述了苔藓植物分布和物种多样性的研究进展,并对其影响因素作了分析,认为环境条件,包括植被、气候、干扰度等均对分布和多样性产生重要影响。对苔藓植物研究方法进行了探讨,认为应对研究方法进行广泛深入的研究,引入新的研究方法和思路,为开展大尺度的苔藓植物综合研究和为生物多样性保护奠定基础。

Research Review on the Distribution and Diversity of Bryophytes

Due to their important ecological function and systematic position in the plant kingdom,bryophytes have been studied widely.Changes in the global climate,however,have seriously threatened bryophyte diversity.We reviewed the latest advanced study on the diversity and distribution of bryophytes,the environmental factors involved,vegetation,climate,and human activities.The methods for analyzing bryophytes distribution and diversity,including quantitative ecological analysis,modeling,and GIS are discussed in this paper.It is important that Chinese researchers advance their methodology and utilize new techniques,so as to develop large spatial scale studies of bryophytes to help increase the foundation of information for biodiversity protection.
