It has become a wide discipline containing over hundred branches. Its current weakness and existing problems mainly are:shorts of scientific strictness, Jack of technical ability and applied techniques, and in the course of its fast expansion, being less of the disciplinary boundary of itself. In the future, application of mathematics and computer techniques in ecological research and practice, ecological experiment, macroscopic ecological research, and study of ecological engineering techniques and their development will be the most active fields in the research of applied ecology.
