植被动力学能在全球碳和水文学周期导致变化,以及到气候的反馈变化。这份报纸考察森林动力学的反应到气候变化。把研究基于 palaeoecological,我们总结了对气候变化的植被反应的特征和模式并且作为三种类型在植被动力学上分类气候变化的影响:植被,由非气候的因素的缓冲区效果,和由随机的事件的植被分发的不安上的气候应力。由于植被系统的坦诚和气候、非气候的因素的综合效果,植被气候关系远离它的平衡背离。植被分发显示出非线性的回答到气候变化,它也使确定困难现代植被分发以特定的气候的因素。经过类似物, space-for-time-substitution 和动态全球植被模型(DGVM ) 是预言未来植被分发的三条途径,但是他们都在植被气候平衡的假设上被建立了。我们建议因为这些是两个都合并骚乱的基于过程的模特儿,那改善 DGVM 是为植被动力学的研究的一项未来任务(例如火) 并且可变性在种功能的类型(PFT ) 。然而, palaeoecological 结果应该被用来测试模型,并且问题在植被动力学上喜欢空间、时间的规模,气候变化的复杂性,非气候的因素的效果,植被气候反馈,和人的规定为未来研究作为话题被建议。
Vegetation dynamics could lead to changes in the global carbon and hydrology cycle, as well as feedbacks to climate change. This paper reviews the response of forest dynamics to climate change. Based on palaeoecological studies, we summarized the features and modes of vegetation response to climate change and categorized the impacts of climate change on vegetation dynamics as three types: climate stress on vegetation, buffer effects by non-climatic factors, and perturbation of the vegetation distribution by stochastic events. Due to the openness of the vegetation system and the integrated effects of both climatic and non-climatic factors the vegetation-climate relationship deviates far from its equilibrium. The vegetation distribution shows a non-linear response to climate change, which also makes it difficult to quantify the modern vegetation distribution in terms of specific climatic factors. Past analog, space-for-time-substitution and Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) are three approaches to predicting the future vegetation distribution, but they have all been established on the assumption of vegetation-climate equilibrium. We propose that improving DGVMs is a future task for studies of vegetation dynamics because these are process-based models incorporating both disturbance (e.g. fire) and the variability in Plant Functional Types (PFTs). However, palaeoecological results should be used to test the models, and issues like spatial and temporal scale, complexity of climate change, effects of non-climatic factors, vege- tation-climate feedback, and human regulation on vegetation dynamics are suggested as topics for future studies.
