生态完整性与生态系统健康的区别及适用范围
The difference between ecological integrity and ecosystem health and their application scopes
摘要
Abstract
Ecological integrity and ecosystem health are important goals of ecosystem management.The two con-cepts are frequently confused and misapplied in assessment work.As a result of the comparative analysis,both con-cepts differ in five aspects:concept connotation,management objectives,value orientation,reference benchmarks,and assessment methods.(1)Ecological integrity emphasizes naturalness,while ecosystem health emphasizes sus-tainability and social values.(2)The goal of ecological integrity is to maintain a natural state without human dis-turbance,while ecosystem health aims for an ideal state based on social needs.(3)Ecological integrity is based on nature conservation values,while ecosystem health is based on utilitarian conservation values.(4)The reference benchmark for assessing ecological integrity is the natural or historical state undisturbed by human beings,while for ecosystem health,it is the optimal attainable state or the recognized state.(5)The assessment indices for ecological integrity include physical,chemical,and biological indicators,while the assessment of ecosystem health incorpo-rates additional indicators,such as management and economic factors.Ecological integrity and ecosystem health share similar conceptual contexts and assessment logic,with overlaps between them.The former is applicable to natural ecosystems,while the latter is applicable to disturbed or restored ecosystems.The choice between them should be based on the differences in concept connotation,the ecoregions,the intensity of human interference,and the management objectives.关键词
