Advances in plant ecophysiological studies on re-vegetation of degraded ecosystems

Abstract

Abstract: Natural force and human intervention lead to many local, regional, and sometimes global changes in plant community patterns. Regardless of the cause and intensity of these changes, ecosystem can recover most of their attributes through natural succession, or can be repaired by human assistance. The essentiality of restoration of degraded ecosystem is community succession, a process during which an ecosystem evolves from primary stage to advanced stage,and its structure and function change from simple to complex plant. Ecophysiological study could explain some macroscopical phenomena of the ecology of re-vegetation of degraded ecosystem, and provide a scientific base for assembling pioneering plant community. The advances in plant ecophysiological study on re-vegetation of degraded ecosystems were reviewed in this paper.

Key words: Degraded ecosystem, Community succession, Re-vegetation, Plant ecophysiology
