北方针叶林地处北半球中高纬度地区,增温剧烈,是受气候变化影响最显著的地区之一。据预测,在未来气候变化情景下,北方针叶林将向北迁移,且可能完全移出我国,从而将对气候系统及全球碳收支产生重要的反馈作用。因此,北方针叶林在气候变化与全球碳收支中具有十分重要的作用。从气候变化的影响及碳循环研究方面综述了北方针叶林近年来的最新研究进展,探讨了未来北方针叶林拟重点加强的研究领域,为深入理解北方针叶林对气候变化的响应、制定适宜的气候变化对策提供参考依据。
Boreal forest lies in middle-high latitude of the northern hemisphere, where temperature increases strongly. Boreal forest becomes one of the zones most significantly influenced by global climate change. Many models of future climate change scenarios predicted boreal forest would northward shift, even out of the border of China. The changing distribution would have important effects on climate system and global carbon budget. Thus, boreal forest plays a very important role in global climate change and carbon budget. In this paper, we reviewed the newest progress in the study of boreal forest ecosystem from the effects of global climate change and global carbon budget, and some key research tasks in the future were also proposed.
