Abstract:As an inherent attribute of ecosystem, disturbance has seriously affected the ecosystem balance in some ecosystems. As a comprehensive index of measuring ecosystem, ecosystem multifunctionality can reflect the overall function of ecosystem at the same time. With the continuous change of disturbance activities, the impact of disturbance on the ecosystem has been widely concerned by the community, and the research on the multifunction of disturbance on ecosystem is also increasing. However, due to the lack of a systematic summary of the impact of disturbance on the multifunctionality of the ecosystem, this article discusses the current status of the research on the multifunctionality of the ecosystem from four aspects: conceptual progress, quantitative indicators, measurement methods, and impact factors. Combined with the research of disturbance on ecosystem versatility, this paper compares and analyzes its research progress, in order to provide reference for the research of ecosystem versatility in the future. In this paper, the following three perspectives are proposed for the study of forest ecosystem multifunctionality in the future: (1) strengthen the application research of ecosystem multifunctionality; (2) strengthen the assessment of the impact of the interaction between ecosystem functions on ecosystem multifunctionality; and (3) strengthen the institutional research on the effects of disturbances on ecosystem multifunctionality. It hopes to provide a reference for further exploration of the research on the influence mechanism of disturbance on the multifunctionality of the ecosystem, so as to promote the development of this field.
