摘要
森林生态学作为研究森林与环境相互关系的科学 ,是造林学、森林经营学、森林保护学的基础。其任务是认识森林与环境相互作用、森林分类、分布、生长发育、发展和演替规律 ,认识人类活动对森林及其功能的影响 ,提出正确经营管理森林的技术途径。森林生态学在我国面临提高森林生产力、改善国土生态环境、保障农业稳产高产、保护生物多样性等重要实际任务 ,也面临涉及全球变化、区域生态环境等大时空尺度等与国际研究接轨的基础研究的技术发展问题。
As a branch discipline of ecology to study the relationship between forest and its environment, forest ecology is a foundation for silviculture, forest management and protection. The task of forest ecology is to understand the interaction between the forest and its physical and biological environment, to study the classification and distribution of forest communities, growth, development and succession of forest stands, as well as the influences and effects of human activities to forest and it's functions, to provide the technology of sustainable management for forest ecosystems. The development of forest ecology in China is facing the serious practical problems of increment of forest producticty, improvement of environmental safety of national territory, the stabilization of agricultural production and the protection of biodiversities in China, as well as the larger scale theoretical studies for global and regional ecological changes concerning the international research programs.
