土壤动物与土壤生态系统的环境要素密切相关,探明土壤动物与环境要素之间的相互关系对深刻认识土壤生态系统的运行机制、评价土壤生态系统功能具有重要意义.影响土壤动物的环境要素可以分为土壤性质和土壤外部环境两方面,前者主要指土壤基本理化性质、土壤水分和土壤污染状况,后者包括植被、土地利用、地貌和气候等环境要素.本文从以上角度对我国土壤动物与土壤环境要素关系研究进行总结和归纳,认为当前我国相关研究中主要存在以下若干问题:与环境指示作用整合性研究较少,研究方法有待改进,对环境要素的综合性及其时空变异性认识不足.并提出了相应的建议:与实际研究需要相结合,借鉴国外先进方法经验,进行多要素综合研究以及开展大区域长期监测等.
Soil fauna has close relations with various environmental factors in soil ecosystem.To explore the interrelationships between soil fauna and soil environmental factors is of vital importance to deep understand the dynamics of soil ecosystem and to assess the functioning of the ecosystem.The environmental factors affecting soil fauna can be classified as soil properties and soil external environment.The former contains soil basic physical and chemical properties,soil moisture,and soil pollution.The latter includes vegetation,land use type,landform,and climate,etc.From these aspects,this paper summarized the published literatures in China on the interrelationships between soil fauna and soil environmental factors.It was considered that several problems were existed in related studies,e.g.,fewer researches were made in integrating soil fauna's bio-indicator function,research methods were needed to be improved,and the studies on the multi-environmental factors and their large scale spatial-temporal variability were in deficiency.Corresponding suggestions were proposed,i.e.,more work should be done according to the practical needs,advanced experiences from abroad should be referenced,and comprehensive studies on multi-environmental factors and long-term monitoring should be conducted on large scale areas.
