森林是陆地生物多样性的主要储藏地，具有调节气候变化现象的重要能力。此外，还必须考虑自然灾害如何影响森林生物多样性的状况和发展。近几十年来，气候模式的改变对森林生态系统产生了明显的影响，特别是干旱对生态系统造成的损害日益明显。然而，在阐明森林生物多样性与干旱之间的关系以及探讨生物多样性对干旱的反应机制方面的研究有限。本综述综合了关于气候变化对不同尺度森林影响的现有文献，并研究了森林群落对干旱引起的压力的适应性反应。森林生物多样性可能受到各种因素的影响，包括干旱的严重程度、最初的气候条件和旱地物种的构成。在干旱期间，森林的生物多样性受到一系列复杂的生理和生态因素的影响，其中包括植物承受干旱条件的能力及其在干旱之后的恢复能力。此外，选择不同的干旱指数和生物多样性估计方法对随后的应对研究具有影响。
Forests, being the primary repository of terrestrial biodiversity, possess a significant capacity to regulate the phenomenon of climate change. It is additionally crucial to consider how natural disasters affect the state and development of forest biodiversity. The alteration of climate patterns over recent decades has had a discernible impact on forest ecosystems, specifically the damage caused by drought to ecosystems, has become increasingly evident. Nevertheless, there is limited research to elucidate the relationship between forest biodiversity and drought, as well as to explore the mechanisms of biodiversity response to drought. This review synthesizes the existing literature on the effects of climate change on forests across various scales and examines the adaptive responses of forest communities to drought-induced stress. Forest biodiversity can be influenced by various factors, including the severity of drought, initial climatic conditions, and the composition of species in drylands. During periods of drought, the biodiversity of forests is influenced by a range of intricate physiological and ecological factors, encompassing the capacity of plants to withstand drought conditions and their subsequent ability to recuperate following such periods. Moreover, the choice of different drought indices and biodiversity estimation methods has implications for subsequent response studies.
