生态水文学作为生态学和水文学的交叉学科,得到了相关研究者的广泛关注,并成为水文水资源研究领域中的一个热点,生态水文过程主要包括水文过程、生态过程以及二者之间相互作用的过程。从生态水文学内涵的角度,对山地、湿地、干旱区生态水文过程模拟以及流域集成模拟进展做了阐述,并分析建模的策略和统计了部分生态水文模型,考虑了建模过程中的尺度、数据、精度3个关键问题。并对生态水文模拟发展趋势做了展望,指出在未来的研究中应更多的关注以下几个方面:①生态水文过程模拟建模基础研究;②生态水文过程集成模拟研究;③基于数据库和GIS/RS技术的生态水文过程耦合模拟研究;④与原型观测相结合的生态水文过程模拟研究。建立符合我国实情的生态水文模型,是现阶段我国生态水文学研究的重要任务。
Ecohydrology combines the studies of hydrological and ecological processes and their interrelations in soil and water. It aims at a better understanding of hydrological factors determining the development of natural and human-driven terrestrial ecosystems, and of ecological factors influencing the hydrology. This paper analyzes the understanding of ecohydrological process by researchers from ecohydrology connotation view. Terrestrial land- scape ecohydrology research is a hotspot. This paper summaries the ecohydrological process advances of mountainous region, wetland, dry land and basin integration modelling, analyzes the strategy of establishing ecohydrological model, gathers part of developed ecohydrological models, considers the three problems in model establishment, scales, data, definition. We should pay more attention to the following four aspects: (1)the basic research on eco- hydrological process; (2)the integration modeling research on ecohydrological process; (3)ecohydrological process on-line coupling research with database and GIS/RS technologies; (4)ecohydrological process research combining with prototype observation. To establish ecohydrological models that accord with local condition is the important task in today's China ecohydrology research.
