摘要

摘要: 近年来，生态系统多功能性（ecosystem multifunctionality）成为生态学研究的热点问题，开展生态系统多功能性与生物和非生物因子的研究有助于更深入地理解生态系统多功能性形成机制。通过回溯生态系统多功能性的研究历程，总结了3个不同维度水平的生物多样性，即物种多样性、功能多样性、系统发育多样性，尤其是植物功能多样性与生态系统多功能性的研究进展；分析了全球变化背景下，生态系统多功能性对土地利用变化、降水、氮沉降、温度升高的响应机制。最后提出了未来生态系统多功能性研究需重点关注的领域：1）生态系统多功能性的功能指标选择和计算方法；2）不同维度水平的生物多样性对生态系统多功能性的影响机制；3）生态系统多功能性对植物地上−地下功能多样性的响应；4）土壤微生物多样性对生态系统多功能性的影响；5）全球变化多因子及交互作用对生态系统多功能性的影响。为更深入认识生态系统多功能性及其维持机制、优化生态系统功能、保障其稳定性和可持续性提供科学参考。

Abstract: Recently, ecosystem multifunctionality has become a hot topic in ecological research. Studying on the relationship between ecosystem multifunctionality and biotic and abiotic factors can help us to understand further the formation mechanisms of ecosystem multifunctionality. The biodiversity at three different dimensions, namely species diversity, functional diversity and phylogenetic diversity, especially, the relationship between plant functional diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality were summarized by retrospecting the research progress of ecosystem multifunctionality. The response mechanisms of ecosystem multifunctionality to land-use change, precipitation, nitrogen deposition and temperature increase were analyzed in the context of global change. The following issues should be paid more attention in the future studies on ecosystem multifunctionality were suggested: 1) unifying the selection of functional indicators and the calculation methods about ecosystem multifunctionality; 2) understanding the mechanisms about biodiversity at different dimensions on ecosystem multifunctionality; 3) exploring the responses of ecosystem multifunctionality to plant above- and below-ground functional diversity; 4) considering the effects of soil microbial diversity on ecosystem multifunctionality; 5) elucidating the impacts of global change multifactor and their interactions on ecosystem multifunctionality. Scientific references for further understanding the formation mechanisms of ecosystem multifunctionality, optimizing the ecosystem functions and guaranteeing the stability and sustainability of ecosystem functions could be provided.
