Research progress on the multifunctionality of terrestrial ecosystems:based on trends,methods and influencing factors
Ecosystems have the ability to maintain multiple ecological functions and services at the same time,which is known as Ecosystem Multifunctionality(EM).In recent years,as the impact of global change on ecosystems has gradually increased,researches on the multifunctionality of terrestrial ecosystems have gradually become a hot topic.This study elaborates on the development and current research status of terrestrial ecosystems multifunctionality in terms of conceptual development,hot trend,indicator quantification,and influencing factors.The result shows the following:Since the concept of"multifunctionality"was first proposed in 2004,studies in this field began to grow exponentially in 2018.During this period,some scholars refined the classification of the definition of ecosystem multifunctionality and proposed the impact of biodiversity on EM.Through bibliometric analysis,it is revealed that terrestrial ecosystems receives more attention than aquatic ecosystems,and the research of ecosystem multifunctionality mainly focuses on the field of biodiversity and multifunctionality.By comprehensive analysis of the impact of global change on the multifunctionality of terrestrial ecosystems,it is found that biodiversity promotes the multifunctionality of terrestrial ecosystem,climate change and land use change can inhibit the multifunctionality of terrestrial ecosystem.Therefore,effective policies and measures need to be formulated to protect the integrity and stability of terrestrial ecosystems multifunctionality and to ensure the sustainable development of human society.
