中文摘要：

湿地是自然界重要的自然资源类型之一。保护湿地资源、维持湿地基本生态过程,对改善区域生态环境和保障社会经济持续发展具有重大意义。本文从湿地资源研究角度,通过查阅近20年来相关资料和文献分析,系统揭示了我国湿地资源研究特点与学科特征,并通过与国际湿地研究相比较,阐明我国未来湿地研究发展重点与趋势。得出基本结论：①我国湿地资源研究具有区域性、多样性、综合性和国际性特点;②从自然资源研究的学科特点来看,我国湿地研究重点领域逐渐由湿地资源调查、资源与地理研究向资源与生态、资源与环境以及技术方法应用等方面发展;③我国未来湿地资源研究具有研究区域不断扩大、空间尺度两级分化明显的特征,研究内容上表现为湿地与全球气候变化研究将成为新的热点与重点,研究方法不断由静态向动态过程、定性向定量以及机理性模型与新技术方法应用方向发展。

英文摘要：

Wetlands are one of the most important natural resources globally.Conservation of wetland resources and the maintenance of essential ecological wetland processes are of great significance to social and economic sustainable development.Here,we systematically analyzed the characteristics and progress of Chinese wetland research in the last 20 years.China＇s future development priorities in wetland research were clarified by comparing this research base to international wetland research.We found that wetland resources in China have regional,diverse,international and comprehensive characteristics.Research has focused on wetland resources investigation,geography,ecology,the environment,and technological application.Wetland resource research in China has obvious characteristics of regional enlarging and a polarized space scale.Wetlands and global climate change will become the new research focus in the feature.The research methods have developed from static to dynamic processes,qualitative to quantitative,and mechanism models and new technology applications.
