从喀斯特地区适生植物的生境适应性、光合生理、水分生理、养分生理、菌根生理以及遗传生理等方面综述了当前喀斯特地区植被恢复过程中开展的一些生理生态学研究成果,提出今后喀斯特地区需要开展适生植物的钙适应机制、碳循环以及抗旱遗传机制等方面的研究,为喀斯特地区植被恢复提供理论参考。
Karst area is a special terrain mainly consisting of limestone in south China. Water deficit with thin and soil is its typical characteristics. The problem of desertification is attracting more attentions in Karst area. Soil severely erodes, bedrock appears massively, and productivity decreases in limestone districts, which are all caused by human's unreasonable social economic activity. It is becoming urgent to carry out ecological restoration in limestone desertification region. As a degraded limestone ecosystem, some ecophysiological characteristics of restoration process are studied by the plant-ecophysiology-method in limestone region. It's important significance to quest the succession mechanism of population adapting growing in Karst area. The advances in habitat fitness, photosynthesis-physiology, water-physiology, nutrient-physiology, mycorrhizal physiology, genetic physiology of limestone plants were summarized. Furthermore, some prospects on calcium fitness, carbon circle and genetic mechanism under drought in limestone area were discussed.
