Ecosystem health is a hot topic in ecological research. In this paper, the concept of river ecosystem health was generalized, and the main methods used to assess the health condition of river ecosystem was introduced, which are based on bioindictors such as epilithic algae (diatom specially), benthic invertebrate and fish, and were classified into two types in terms of their assessment principles. Based on research actuality, the development tendency in this area is put forward. The authors suggest that the relevant study should be carried out as soon as possible in China.
生态系统健康是生态研究中的一个热门话题。本文对河流生态系统健康的概念进行了概括，介绍了用于评估河流生态系统健康状况的主要方法，这些方法以附着藻类（特别是硅藻）、底栖无脊椎动物和鱼类等生物指示物为基础，并根据其评估原则分为两类。基于研究现状，提出了该领域的发展趋势。作者建议中国应尽快开展相关研究。
