Ecological geochemistry:theory,practice and perspectives
Ecological geochemistry is an emerging inter-discipline that studies distribution and allocation of various elements or compounds(including pollutants)in the Earth's ecosystems,migration and transformation processes and cycling patterns between the ecosphere and other spheres of the Earth,as well as the impact of ecological factors,effects and health influences induced at the global,regional and local scale,and relevant regulations,utilizing principles and methods of both geochemistry and ecology.Ecological geochemistry highlights the commitment to solving various geochemical problems in the Earth's ecosystems within the framework of ecological principles,with a particular focus on the interplay between living organisms and their survival environment at the level of various spheres on the Earth.Its essence is to study laws about the macro cycling of materials at the microscopic level and ecological or toxicological effects on humans and other organisms,providing scientific and technological support for the setup of the human life community and the construction of ecological civilization.In this review,it briefly recalled the formation and development history of geochemistry,as well as related theoretical knowledge,summarized the current status and future development trends of ecological geochemistry research at home and abroad,and proposed and discussed main tasks and related scientific practices of ecological geochemistry in the current and future.Finally,the future direction of ecological geochemistry is briefly anticipated based on the existing research.
