红树林生态系统处于海陆动态交界面，是沿海重要的生态屏障，在全球变化过程中扮演着重要的角色。全球变暖导致海平面升高，严重威胁着红树林的生存。目前，海平面上升对红树林的影响主要集中在对红树林沉积物表面高程方面的研究，而对红树林的生理与生态学特征方面的研究较少。红树林是如何感受海平面上升带来的胁迫，对水淹厌氧胁迫的感知与分子生态学适应机制几乎为空白。因此，对于红树植物的生理生化及分子研究工作迫在眉睫。本研究以热带、亚热带红树林生态系统为研究对象，开展红树林对海平面上升响应的厌氧适应机制研究，为我国海洋生态系统的管理和生物资源的可持续利用提供科学依据。

Mangrove ecosystem, present at the dynamic interface between land and sea, is a crucial ecological barrier along the coastlines, and plays an important role in global climate changes. Of all the outcomes from global warming, sea-level rise is considered the greatest threat to mangroves. At present, the effects of sea-level rise on mangrove forests mainly focuses on the study of the sediment surface elevation, while the study on the physiological and ecological characteristics of mangrove forests is rarely reported. The knowledge on how mangrove forests feel the threaten from the sea-level rise, how they perceive and adapt to anaerobic stress, and the molecular ecology mechanism behind are almost blank. Therefore, the research on the biological and physiological role of mangrove plants is imminent. In the proposed research, mechanism of mangrove plants adaptation to anaerobic stress, based on tropical and subtropical mangrove ecosystems, will be studied. This project will provide a scientific foundation for sea ecological ecosystem management and the sustainable utilization of biological resources.
