英文摘要：

Chinese material medicine resources ecology is a new branch discipline intercrossing between Chinese material medicine resources science and ecology, and it studies the relation between the Chinese material medicine resources and the ecological environment. This article has discussed the concept, con-notation, object, category and early ideas of Chinese material medicine resources ecology, and some key scientific problems on the research of Chinese material medicine resources ecology are explored, including those about the geographic distribution, the regionalization, the ecological factor of controlling quality, the conservation and sustainable use of Chinese material medicine resources, the environment quality in the production of Chinese material medicine, and so on： The ecology of Chinese material medicine resources is being developed rapidly and is coming into existence as a new branch discipline. Its theory, content and method need to be studied unceasingly, and its research depth and breadth also need to be deepened and explored unceasingly.
