| 摘要 | This study, integrating both domestic and international literatures as well as field research findings, presents a comprehensive review of the geographical distribution, ecological and physiological characteristics of Acanthus ebracteatus. It further delves into the factors leading to its endangered status and proposes corresponding protection strategies. The mian reasons for the endangered of A. ebracteatus are as follows: illegal harvesting of whole plants, habitat destruction, reproductive obstacles, and competition or interference from invasive or noxious plant species. To address these threats, a series of conservation strategies are proposed. Firstly, in-depth research on the artificial propagation techniques of A. ebracteatus should be conducted to surmount reproductive barriers. Secondly, habitat restoration initiatives need to be carried out to create a suitable ecological setting. Thirdly, in-situ protections should be enhanced while the implementing ex-situ conservation measures. Meanwhile, continuous monitoring of A. ebracteatus seedlings should be conducted to strengthen subsequent management and conservation efforts. Finally, it is recommended to rationally explore and utilize the medicinal properties of A. ebracteatus. |
