中文摘要：

以中国学术期刊全文数据库（CNKI）为主要数据源，采用文献计量分析法，分析了中国生态脆弱性研究的现状与发展。结果显示，自1989年以来生态脆弱性在中国逐渐成为研究热点，并形成三个发展阶段：1989．2000年，是以理论初探和区域对策等定性研究为主的初步发展阶段；2001—2007年，是以方法应用与实证评价为主，并以数量大幅度增长为特点的迅速发展阶段；2008年之后开始出现研究总结热潮和综合化研究趋势，进入由单纯数量增长转向理论内涵建设的成熟发展阶段。在脆弱性研究进展中，脆弱性实证评价研究相对发展迅速，其实证研究区域由偏于西南喀斯特地区和北方农牧交错带逐渐趋于广泛和均衡，但总体上脆弱性理论研究发展滞后于其方法应用研究，并导致目前中国生态脆弱性实证评价方法缺乏统一的理论规范；生态脆弱性实证研究仍以生态系统脆弱性评价为主；已有研究成果的脆弱性综合评价指标中，自然和经济类指标的比重和地区差异较大，社会指标的比重和地区差异较小。

英文摘要：

Taking CNKI as the main data source, this paper uses bibliometric methods to examine the present situation and the development of research on ecological vulnerability in China. Results show that ecological vulnerability has become a hotspot in China since 1989, and the research can be divided into three development stages. The initial stage （1989-2000） was mainly focused on qualitative research on preliminary theory discussion and regional countermeasures; the rapid development stage （2001-2007） was concentrated on method application and empirical evaluation, characterized by a large increase in literature numbers; the period since 2008 saw a boom of theoretical reviews and initial signs of comprehensive research. In the development process, the empirical research on vulnerability evaluation developed rapidly, whose research scope tended to be more comprehensive and balanced gradually instead of focus on the karst region in Southwest China and agro-pastoral zigzag zone in northern China. But on the whole the development of the theory research lags behind that of the method application, thus, at present, the empirical research method of ecological vulnerability evaluation in China are lack of theory standard, and the empirical research on ecological vulnerability still focus more on the single ecological system, and in existing comprehensive indexes of vulnerability evaluation, natural and economic indexes weight and its regional differences are relatively big, and social indicators weight and its regional differences are smaller.
