Research content of bionics

Bio-meteorology can be divided into five categories: ① Plant bio-meteorology. Based on the needs of agriculture and forestry, the influence of weather and climate on the growth, development and geographical distribution of various plants is studied, so the research content in this area also belongs to the category of agrometeorology and forest meteorology. ② Animal bio-meteorology. The effects of weather and climate conditions on the physiological activities, diseases and development of birds (birds), animals (livestock), aquatic animals (fish), amphibians and arthropods (insects), as well as on the egg production of birds, the milk production (meat) of livestock and the fur quality of mammals were studied. Insects related to the epidemic of plant, animal and human diseases, such as locusts, armyworms and Anopheles mosquitoes, are also under study. (3) the human biological meteorology. Study the influence of weather and climate on people, including: the influence of weather and climate on the physiological process of healthy people, the influence on various physiological and pathological phenomena related to diseases, the occurrence period, intensity and geographical distribution of diseases; The influence of urban and indoor microclimate on human health, the influence of various building structures and town design on microclimate; The influence of weather and climate on people living in sports ships, and how to make use of meteorological factors (such as ultraviolet rays) that are beneficial to people's prevention or treatment of diseases. ④ Cosmic bio-meteorology. Study the influence of various factors outside the earth's atmosphere on life, such as changes in solar activity and cosmic rays. ⑤ Paleontological meteorology. To study the influence of climatic conditions on the origin, evolution, extinction and geographical distribution of plants, animals and human beings during geological period.
