摘要: 南岭有地球同纬度带上保存最完整的亚热带常绿阔叶林,是我国南方重要的生态屏障带,也是湘江、赣江、北江等众多河流的源头区。20世纪20年代,南岭山地由于丹霞地层被发现首次走进国际视野,之后的90年来,在南岭山地开展的研究主要包括了地质构造、花岗岩成矿、丹霞地貌、气候变化、生物多样性、植物区系、大型真菌、鸟类监测、兽类监测、蝴蝶监测、常绿阔叶林、南岭走廊、自然保护区、景观格局、生态旅游等方面。通过梳理南岭山地的研究发现,南岭不仅对于研究地球科学的自然地理学、人文地理学,生命科学的生物多样性、生物区系和生态系统生态学等具有重要意义,对于交叉学科和多学科综合研究也极具研究前景,该区域可以作为具有高潜在价值综合研究的基地。

Abstract: The Nanling Mountains contain one of the most important subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests on earth, as compared with other regions at the same latitudes.The region forms an important ecological barrier in southern China and is the source of several significant rivers, including the Xiangjiang, Ganjiang and Beijiang Rivers.The unique Danxia landform led to international recognition of the importance of the Nanling Mountains in the 20th century.Over the past 90 years, research in the Nanling Mountains area has included geological structure, granite mineralization, Danxia landform, climate change, biodiversity, flora, large fungi and the monitoring of birds, mammals and butterflies.There has also been research into evergreen broad-leaved forests, the Nanling Corridors, nature reserves, landscape patterns and ecological tourism.We found that the Nanling region was of great significance not only in relation to studies of its physical and human geography, geosciences and life sciences, such as biodiversity, flora and ecosystems, but also for inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research.We suggest that the region could be used as a long-term research base with high potential values for comprehensive, inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research.
