Integrative Conservation专刊｜自然教育：连接人与自然，助力中国生物多样性保护

专刊围绕“自然教育如何以更加包容的方式培育人与自然的多重联结，并进而促进人与自然的共同福祉”这一核心问题展开。所收录文章涵盖理论框架构建、政策与制度视角、研究综述，以及来自动物园、植物园、学校、社区和公益组织等多元场域的一线实践研究。内容既回应自然教育与生物多样性保护的宏观议题，也关注具体实施路径，力求为相关领域的研究者、教育工作者与实践者提供有价值的参考。

通过地方感教育促进青少年的亲自然保护行为

量化研究结果表明：1）课程结束后，学生的地方感显著提升，并在三个月后仍高于课程前水平；2）课程后，学生的保护能动性显著增强，亲自然保护行为有所增加，二者在三个月后仍显著高于课程前；3）参与讲解活动的学生表现出更显著的保护能动性提升和更多的保护行为。结构方程模型进一步分析表明：地方感主要通过增强保护能动性间接促进亲自然保护行为，同时同伴影响（主观规范）对能动性的提升也具有显著作用。

基于校园花园培养儿童对自然的兴趣

该研究共有24名四年级儿童参与，每周在花园里开展一次大约30-40分钟的活动。为了评估儿童个人兴趣的发展，研究者为每名参与者建立了个人档案，其中包括活动前、活动过程中和活动结束后的个人问卷、自然笔记、观察记录和访谈记录。研究结果表明，其中的17位同学表现为对自然兴趣增加或开始对自然产生兴趣，学校花园以其独特而安全的环境，为学生提供了新颖、自主的探索空间，加之教师的支持和指导，激发了儿童对自然的好奇；儿童在活动期间和活动结束后的社交互动，进一步增强了儿童的积极体验（图1）。这些因素结合在一起，培养了儿童对自然的兴趣。该研究强调了校园花园项目对儿童兴趣的积极影响，显示出学校花园对培养儿童对自然的兴趣的潜力。

叶片功能性状与寄主关联效应共同影响桑寄生叶片植食昆虫取食强度

不同寄主对相同桑寄生叶片昆虫取食强度有显著影响，其中，桑五蕊寄生和澜沧江寄生的叶片虫食强度在各自不同寄主植物上表现出显著差异，而离瓣寄生的虫食强度受寄主影响不显著。2）桑寄生植物与寄主植物叶片的虫食强度间的相关性受到季节的影响，在旱季表现出显著的正相关而在雨季相关性不显著。3）桑寄生植物叶片碳、氮和缩合单宁的含量与寄主植物叶片含量呈显著的正相关，提示寄主植物对桑寄生叶片虫食的关联效应主要是通过影响桑寄生植物叶片的功能性状实现的；结构方程模型分析结果也表明寄主植物主要通过影响桑寄生植物叶片的功能性状，进而影响桑寄生叶片虫食强度。4）桑寄生植物叶片的虫食强度显著地受叶片的功能性状影响，并和叶片氮含量和叶片厚度呈显著正相关

绘画揭示影响前青春期儿童自然表征的因素

9-12岁儿童对自然的表征具有一定的共性：倾向于用单一或组合的生物和非生物元素定义自然；同时不同地区儿童在表征自然的原生性程度、精细化加工水平和表征风格上表现出显著差异。直接自然体验和替代性自然体验促进了儿童精细化加工自然的水平，替代性自然体验也对自然的认知复杂性和积极情感表达有显着的正向影响；居住地周边环境对塑造前青春期儿童自然表征有显著影响。同时该研究也证明，绘画+书写工具是提取前青春期儿童自然表征的有效方法。身处数字媒体下的儿童，对“自然”的认识是多元的、分散的、不统一的，需要对不同自然表征和兴趣的儿童进行不同类型的教育指导，帮助儿童从有限的、主观的自然认识转变为更广泛的观点。
