中文摘要当山体达到一定高度时出现的森林分布上限——高山林线,归根结底是一条低温界限。逾百年高山林线的观测与研究,旨在阐明高山林线成因以恢复气候高山林线。迄今出现的各种(可归为5类)高山林线成因假说,虽然每一种都可以解释一定地域的高山林线现象,但在全球尺度上,仍然缺乏一种可以普遍解释全球高山林线现象的假说和理论。另外,由于高山区域较少的人类干扰及短(海拔)距离内显著的环境因子梯度、结合高山林线特殊的结构、功能及对气候变化的高度敏感性,林线研究已经成为全球气候变化研究的热点区域之一。本文综述了全球高山林线知识现状,并对将来高山林线研究提出了一些建议。
英文摘要T he hig h altitude limit of forest s, commonly referred to as treeline, t imberline or forest line,
represents one of the most obv ious vegetat ion boundaries. In reality the t ransit ion f rom the uppermost
closed montane forest s to the t reeless alpine vegetation is commonly not a line, but a steep gradient of
increasing stand f ragmentat ion and stuntedness, often called the alpine t reeline ecotone. Research on
alpine treeline has a century-long history, and it is know n that the global hig h altitude treeline phenomenon
is caused by thermal limitat ion. For instance, it has been show n that on a global scale, climat ic
high alt itude treelines occur at similar grow ing season temperatures ( means f rom 515 to 715 e ) whereas
season length varies betw een 215 and 12 months, and many other climatic constraints w hich have
been suggested as cont ribut ing to alpine t reeline format ion show large regional variat ion. Hence, f ive
g roups of hypothesis of treeline format ion have been sugg ested on a local or regional scale: 1) the thermal
limitat ion hypothesis; 2) the st ress hypothesis; 3) the disturbance and g row th limitat ion hypothesis;
4) the reproduct ion hypothesis, and 5) the carbon balance hypothesis. How ever, the mechanism,
w hich could dictate a climate-driven t ransit ion from forests to the alpine life zone, is st ill not know n.
Hence, a conclusive funct ional explanation of t reeline formation on a global scale is st ill aw aited. Moreover,
in a changing w orld, the alpine life zone is one of the most fascinat ing reg ions for scient ific research,
due to 1) the steep environmental gradients w ithin a short distance on a slope, 2) lit tle human
influence at hig h elevations, and 3) the hig h sensitivity of alpine plant s and their communit ies to a
g lobal change.
