  • 摘要: 流域生态系统作为人与自然高度交织耦合的复合生态系统, 其多水文功能性对农业水安全意义重大。本文首先剖析了流域生态系统多水文功能性及农业水安全概念, 前者包括水源涵养、淡水供给、径流调节和水质净化等, 后者指农业生产中水量、水质、供水可靠性及涉水灾害损失可控性。随后, 探讨了流域生态系统各水文功能对农业供水安全、水质安全和水灾害的影响。森林、草地和湿地等生态系统发挥着重要的水源涵养、淡水供给、径流调节和水质净化功能, 可增加农业可利用水量、降低洪旱灾害和水土流失、减轻农业污染等, 提升流域农业水安全保障水平。流域生态系统多水文功能性与农业水安全保障存在权衡和协同关系, 开展生态系统保护、修复和多水文功能提升对保障农业用水安全至关重要。针对现有研究不足, 提出从机理研究、模型研发和实践应用等方面进一步深化, 包括探究水文多功能性与农业水安全相互关系及耦合机制、研发耦合水文模型、开展面向多水文功能提升的生态系统修复保护与格局优化等, 以期为生态屏障功能视角下农业水安全保障与可持续发展提供科学支撑。

     

    Abstract: Watershed ecosystems, as complex ecosystems where human and natural systems are highly intertwined, play a critical role in agricultural water security through their multi-hydrological functionalities. This paper first dissected the concepts of multi-hydrological functions within watershed ecosystems and agricultural water security. The multi-hydrological functions encompass water source conservation, freshwater supply, runoff regulation, and water quality purification, while agricultural water security refers to the controllability of water quantity, quality, supply reliability, and water-related disaster losses in agricultural production. Subsequently, we explored the impact of each hydrological function on agricultural water supply safety, water quality safety, and water disaster prevention. Ecosystems such as forests, grasslands, and wetlands perform significant roles in water source conservation, freshwater supply, runoff regulation, and water quality purification, which can increase the amount of water available for agriculture, reduce the risks of floods and droughts, as well as soil erosion, and mitigate agricultural pollution, thereby enhancing the level of water security for agriculture within the watershed. There is a trade-off and synergy between the multi-hydrological functions of watershed ecosystems and the safeguarding of agricultural water security. Engaging in ecosystem protection, restoration, and enhancement of multi-hydrological functions is crucial for ensuring the safety of agricultural water use. Considering the existing research gaps, further research is proposed in the areas of mechanism studies, model development, and practical applications. This includes exploring the interrelationship and coupling mechanisms between hydrological multifunctionality and agricultural water security, developing coupled hydrological models, and conducting ecosystem protection, restoration practices and landscape optimization for improving ecosystem hydrological multifunctionality. The aim is to provide scientific support for the safeguarding of agricultural water security and sustainable development from the perspective of ecological barrier functions.
