Abstract

The urgent requirement of human society to solve major resource and environmental pro-blems at the regional and global scales promotes the rises of macroecosystem science (MES) and the multidisciplinary fusions of natural science and humanities. Furthermore, it facilitates the innovation of macroecosystem scientific theory, as well as the development of continental and global scale knowledge fusion methodology and key technology. With the aim to serve the construction and deve-lopment of continental and global scale knowledge fusion methodological system for the changes of ecosystem status and resource environmental effect studies, we systematically elaborated the multi-disciplinary dimensional basic scientific problems, logic relationships and frontiers in the macroecosystem science, discussed the ideology and content of constructing the continental and global scale research methodological system, proposed to develop the networked observation-networked experiment-numerical simulation-knowledge fusion four-in-one infrastructures. This study would provide theoretical references for the network design of ecosystem observation research in China and at the global scale.

人类社会对解决区域及全球重大资源环境问题的迫切需求,快速地推进了自然科学与人文科学的多学科交叉融合,推动了宏观生态系统科学(MES)的兴起及科学理论创新,以及大陆和全球尺度的科学研究方法与技术体系发展。本研究以服务大陆及全球尺度的生态系统状态变化及其资源环境效应研究的多学科知识体系及方法论体系的融合发展为应用目标,系统论述了大陆尺度宏观生态系统科学研究的多学科维度基本问题、逻辑关系及前沿性领域,讨论了构建大陆及全球尺度宏观生态系统科学研究方法学体系的理念和内容,并提出了开展大陆尺度的联网观测-联网实验-数值模拟-知识融合技术系统的设想,期望为中国及全球生态系统观测试验研究网络的理论设计提供参考。.
