摘　　要：巢蕨属植物统称为鸟巢蕨,是热带雨林中大型附生蕨类植物和生态系统中关键类群之一。由于多种原因,包括海南在内的国内外野生鸟巢蕨居群日益受到威胁。本文详细综述国内外对野生鸟巢蕨生态功能方面的研究成果,并分析鸟巢蕨在雨林生态系统研究中的特殊作用和存在问题,为今后加强对野生鸟巢蕨的保护、利用、研究等提供有益的参考。The Bird＇s Nest Fern（Asplenium nidus complex）, a group of epiphytie fern, is one of the key epiphytic species in tropical rainforests. They do not only help maintaining the species and genetic biodiversity in the tropical rainforest ecosystem through offering habitats, food and water for abundant and diverse populations of invertebrates, birds, and microorganisms, but also have the ability to trap substantial amounts of leaf litter and rainfall water to process into perched soils by playing an active role in forest successions and re-vegetations. Due to climate change, forest fragmentation, human disturbance and over-collection, natural populations of Asplenium are increasingly threatened, which inevitably in turn at least impairs those symbiotic orchids and other epiphytic ferns. It is therefore believed that conservation of the colony of Bird＇s Nest Fern in the tropical rainforest will benefit the efforts in the protection and restoration of tropical rainforest ecosystem.
