本研究探索「自然書寫之跨媒介網絡、閱聽人詮釋與辨證」，說明閱聽人援引自然書寫「圖像化」素材，建構知識為核心之故事網絡。以「閱聽人跨媒介詮釋自然書寫基礎」言之，閱聽人「理解層次」（「科學插圖」類型知識及自然知識）及「直覺層次」（感官體驗及同理情感）可相輔相成，閱聽人因科學插圖等類型知識等評析物種還原度，或依圖（影）像理解敘事情境、引發感官聯想。
以「閱聽人詮釋自然書寫、圖像化及跨媒介網絡歷程」言之，閱聽人需補白及翻轉既有期待而融入故事網絡。「補白」包括兩層次：閱聽人參照原作、改編版本及紀實支線建構「外參文本」；閱聽人亦可對照同一作品之資訊圖表（如蟬銳歷程）建構「內參文本」，理解前因後果及情節發展。「翻轉預設」展現於兩層次：閱聽人隨故事網絡「調整預設」，結合在地情境或跨文化元素延續知識體系。閱聽人亦可反思跨媒介轉述策略，翻轉對自然書寫之既定預期，繼而悅納圖像隱喻等表現。
 

This study explored the transmedia network of, audience interpretation of and audience identification with nature writing, describing how an audience uses visualization materials in nature writing to construct a knowledge-based story network. On the basis of an audience’s transmedia interpretation of nature writing, the comprehension level (understanding of knowledge presented by scientific illustrations and nature-related knowledge) and the intuition level (sensory experience and empathetic emotions) supplement each other. An audience’s sensory associations are aroused as the audience evaluates the degree to which scientific illustrations resemble the corresponding object (i.e., the targeting species). Alternatively, the audience
empathizes the experience of characters in nature writing and identify with the narratives when being presented with graphics or photos.
In terms of the audience’s interpretation of nature writing, visualization, and the transmedia network, the audience must fill gaps in writing and overturn their existing presupposition to engage in a transmedia network. Filling gaps is twofold: the audience constructs extraintertextuality on the basis of the original work, adapted edition, and transtexts; the audience may also construct intraintertextuality according to their understanding of the cause and effect and plot development of a piece of work by referring to the infographics (e.g., that of the cicada molting process) in this work. Overturning presupposition is also twofold: the audience adjusts its presupposition and extends their knowledge system by combining a story with local context or crosscultural factors as they proceed with their story network. Additionally, the audience can reflect on transmedia storytelling strategy, overturn their presupposition of nature writing, and thereby readily accept the metaphors of images.
