Research Progress on Evaluation Methods of Aquatic Eco-physical Habitat Integrity
Water ecological integrity of watershed describes the structure and function of the ecosystem from the aspects of biology,physics,and chemistry,which is the research focus of ecological environment management in recent years.As an important part of water ecological integrity assessment,eco-physical habitat integrity assessment can directly reflect the health status of water ecology,and has received increasing attention.Compared with biologi-cal and chemical integrity assessment,the research on eco-physical habitat integrity assessment began later in China,and no perfect index system and evaluation method have been formed.Therefore,it is urgent to investigate the technical system of eco-physical habitat integrity assessment.Based on the assessment methods of physical habitat integrity in developed countries and the situation of water ecological environment management in China,the index system and evaluation method of eco-physical habitat integrity evaluation were proposed in China.The results can provide technical support for eco-physical habitat integrity assessment and environmental management in China.
