摘　　要：生态网络分析方法是分析生态系统作用关系、辨识系统内在、整体属性的一种有效的系统分析方法。总结了生态网络分析方法的主要研究成果:网络结构特性、网络稳定性、网络上升性、网络效能等;介绍了构建生态网络模型过程和群落构建规则;以德国西部城市诺伊斯河口氮循环为例,介绍David K是如何运用生态网络分析方法来揭示网络中的微动力流循环规律。生态网络分析方法的主要贡献:(1)对人们凭经验感知的生态系统分室间的关联关系,采用了严密的数学模型和推导进行了描述和证明;(2)为生态系统的微动力流循环的研究提供了方法,对生态系统中物质流的间接循环作用进行了科学论证;(3)不仅为分析生态系统提供了一种科学的数学方法,而且,它为探索生态系统提供了不同与牛顿世界观的崭新的认识论。总结与回顾生态网络分析方法,有益于该方法的运用和进一步完善。Ecosystems are complicated and macroscopic living systems with self-organization properties.Ecosystem components are interconnected,interrelated,and form a network.The structure of ecosystem networks determines the makeup of adjacent（direct） and non-adjacent（indirect） pathways over which energy,matter,and information flow.Ecological network analysis（ENA） is a system-oriented methodology used to analyze within-system interactions,which helps researchers identify holistic properties that are otherwise not evident from empirical observations.ENA is introduced in the paper as a promising approach for studying ecosystems.We outline some of the main achievements of ENA,which include network structure,network stability,network ascendancy,network utility and so on.We introduce the steps for one approach in constructing network models and in giving rules for modeling a community.The first step in ENA is to identify the system of interest and place boundaries around it.The second step is to make a list of the major or functional groups in the ecosystem.Third,a unit of currency for the network is selected.Fourth,the adjacency matrix is constructed to document any possible flow interactions.Fifth,field data are obtained related to inputs,outputs and throughflows.Sixth,ENA is applied to the network.Seventh,a sensitivity analysis is conducted.We also provide a brief overview of the algorithmic methods used to construct ecological network typologies.We chose a seven-compartment model of nitrogen flow in the Neuse River Estuary,United States,as an example to explain how D.K.Gattie developed insight into the essence of microdynamic environ flows in an ecological network.The ENA method contributed three significant achievements related to ecosystem study.First,ENA uses a mathematical model and derivations to study the interconnective relationships between different compartments within ecosystem.Second,ENA is a promising method for analyzing microdynamic environ flows in an ecological network.This method indicates indir
