摘要
2008年是水杉发现60周年。20世纪40年代在中国发现了植物"活化石"——水杉(Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu et Cheng),这一重要事件使日本植物学家三木茂(Shigeru Miki)1941年以植物化石为依据发表的水杉新属受到关注并得到实证,同时三木茂、胡先骕、郑万钧3人亦成为活化石单种属——水杉属的共同定名人(MetasequoiaMiki ex Hu et Cheng)。1950年水杉被引种到日本,表现出极好的适应性,受到日本政界和广大民众的欢迎和喜爱并得到推广,与此同时对水杉开展了系统的研究,产生了极强的社会效应。本文对日本水杉的引种保护及其社会影响进行了系统阐述。水杉的发现实际上是中、美、日三国科学家之间联动的过程,具有世界意义。文章最后建议在政策允许的范围内加强在水杉研究领域的国际合作。
The year 2008 is the 60th anniversary of the discovery of Metasequoia. In the 1940s, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, the ＂living fossil＂, was discovered in China. This important discovery resulted in the confirmation of Japanese botanist, Miki＇s publication of ＂Metasequoia gl 1941. The publiation was based on the botanical fossil, and received much public attention and provided a strong proof of the new discovery. At the same time, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, a kind of living fossil single species, was named after Shigeru Miki, Hsen-hsu Hu and Wan-chun Cheng. In 1950, after the World War II, Metasequoia glyptostroboides was introduced to Japan, showed great adaptability and was widely welcomed and promoted by Japanese. Meanwhile, systematic studies about Metasequoia glyptostroboides were launched and have received great social effects. This paper illustrates the introduction, conservation and social effects of Metasequoia glyptostroboides, points out that the discovery process of Metasequoia glyptostroboides was in fact a linkage with important world-wide implications between scientists of China, American and Japan. This paper also offers ideas of enhancing international cooperation in this field within the permission of policy.
