基于土地利用变化的近18 a新疆沙地动态及其驱动力分析

 基于新疆1990—2008年的土地利用变化数据库利用土地利用转移矩阵和土地利用变化状态与趋势指数模型分析新疆沙地的动态,依据沙地的转化方向及转化源探讨新疆沙地变化的驱动力。研究区沙地在1990—2000年呈增加趋势,增加速率为84.40 km2·a-1,草地转换为沙地的面积最大;2000—2008年呈减少趋势, 2000—2005年和2005—2008年减少速率分别为86.98 km2·a-1和118.26 km2·a-1,且主要转换为耕地。沙地面积的增加和减少受气候干湿变化和人类活动控制。同20世纪50—90年代相比,1990—2000年新疆沙地扩张速率降低了近一半,局部荒漠地区生态环境有所改善,原因为大规模的土地开垦与气候的暖湿变化。2000—2008年新疆沙地面积不断减少,原因为土地开垦模式发生着变化、生态建设的较快发展以及气候处于相对暖湿的状态。但一些地区沙化问题仍然存在,新疆干旱脆弱的生态环境本质没有根本改变,依然存在着土地沙漠化的潜在危机。     

近20年广西北部湾滨海湿地时空格局变化研究

基于面向对象的信息提取方法,利用1990、2000和2010年Landsat TM遥感影像数据,提取北部湾滨海湿地信息,并对其空间分布及其变化进行研究。结果表明:基于面向对象法提取出的研究区3个时期滨海湿地分类总精度分别为91.02%、89.06%和89.84%,kappa系数均达到0.80以上;3个时期自然湿地在湿地类型构成中占绝对优势,其面积占湿地总面积的比例分别为66.96%、65.65%和64.90%;1990-2010年,研究区滨海湿地面积呈平稳增长态势,其面积由3 138.08km2增加到3 165.77 km2;湿地类型中养殖水面增幅最明显,其面积比重由1990年的3.19%增加到2010年的6.15%。1990-2010年,研究区滨海湿地变化明显,湿地之间、湿地与非湿地之间的相互转化频繁,受人为活动影响干扰突出。     

近30多年江苏省滨海淤长型滩涂中农业/渔业用地动态

以4期(1980年前、1990年前后、2002年和2010年)Landsat遥感影像为基础数据,研究了近30多年来江苏省滨海淤长型滩涂中,农业和渔业用地面积消长、土地的去向及来源变化情况.研究表明,从1980年前至2010年,农业用地面积从436.56km2增长至909.31km2;渔业用地面积从31.67 km2增长至838.94km2.其中,农业用地与渔业用地面积在前20 a增长相对较快;但近10a来,随着天然湿地提供的土地资源被逐渐消耗,农业/渔业用地面积增长趋缓.在典型淤长型滩涂中,天然湿地被开垦为农业/渔业用地后,很少会再恢复为天然湿地;在过渡型淤长滩涂中,近10a来,恢复为天然湿地的农业/渔业用地比例分别达到了18.10％和13.44％.经过近30多年的围垦,天然湿地比例从74.59％下降为50.30％,芦苇(Phragmites australis)沼泽、碱蓬(Suaeda sp.)沼泽等天然湿地转化为农业/渔业用地趋势减弱.     

5个时期武汉城市圈湿地格局及其变化

以武汉城市圈为研究区,采用叠加分析和景观指数方法,利用2000年、2005年、2010年、2015年和2018年的土地利用矢量数据,在ArcGIS10.2软件和Fragstats4.2软件平台上,分析5个时期武汉城市圈湿地格局的特征及其变化。研究结果表明,2000年、2005年、2010年、2015年和2018年,武汉城市圈中的湿地主要分布在中西部,湖泊多分布在中部,水库/坑塘多分布在中西部,沼泽主要分布在河流和湖泊的周边;湿地总面积在2010年达到最大,为6 337.52 km~2;5个时期武汉城市圈中的湿地都以湖泊湿地、水库/坑塘、河流湿地为主,前两个时期湖泊湿地的面积相对最大,后三个时期水库/坑塘的面积相对最大;在5个时期中,2010年研究区湿地景观相对最破碎,随着时间的推移,湿地景观边缘形状复杂化,景观形状趋于不规则;水库/坑塘的质心向西偏移了7.716 km,湖泊湿地的质心向东略偏南偏移了7.565 km,河流湿地的质心总体上向西偏移,沼泽湿地总体向南偏移了4.180 km。     

基于空间抽样调查的宁夏全区和吴忠市湿地面积估测

利用第二次全国湿地资源调查数据和2013年、2015年和2016年遥感影像数据,提取出宁夏回族自治区各类型湿地信息,辅以地面验证,研究基于网格空间抽样调查的湿地面积估测方法。研究结果表明,宁夏回族自治区内的湿地分布呈现由北向南递减的趋势;利用210个4 km×4 km的抽样网格单元,估测得到的宁夏全区湿地总面积为21.85×104hm~2,大于第二次全国湿地资源调查的相关结果(20.72×104hm~2),预测精度和抽样精度分别为94.53%和99.78%,可靠性较高,但是抽样精度随着湿地抽样面积比例的下降而降低;在宁夏的5个地级市中,吴忠市的湖泊和沼泽面积都相对最大,利用吴忠市61个4 km×4 km大样地网格的前后两期湿地斑块数据,预测2016年吴忠市的湿地总面积为52 320.67 hm~2,比2013年净增了731.78 hm~2,总预测精度为98.58%。湿地空间抽样方法的抽样效率较高,湿地面积总体预测精度较好,降低了遥感影像购买和使用成本,减少了湿地斑块区划工作量,提升了湿地变化的动态监测能力,建议推广应用。     

三个时期大庆油田区湿地格局及其变化

以1995年、2005年和2014年Landsat TM/OLI影像为主要数据,采用动态变化模型,通过转移矩阵、质心变化和景观指数的计算,对大庆油田区湿地景观格局及其变化进行研究。结果表明,3个时期研究区的主要湿地类型都为沼泽湿地和湖泊湿地,沼泽湿地面积以0.82%的动态度由1995年的601.30 km2减少至2014年的507.10 km2,湖泊湿地面积以1.87%的动态度由1995年的154.36 km2增加至2014年的209.33 km2;湿地类型之间的转变主要表现为沼泽湿地与湖泊湿地、盐碱滩之间的转变;湿地质心的空间变化特征和景观指数的变化都反映出2005年后大庆油田区湿地景观的破碎化得到改善;政府出台的相关政策对研究区湿地保护和恢复颇具成效。     

2000～2007年辉河湿地面积变化及其与局地气候的关系研究

辉河湿地作为内蒙古辉河国家级自然保护区的主体,在维护区域生态平衡方面发挥着极其重要的作用。以辉河湿地为研究区,利用2000～2007年每一年的第97天至第289天的250m分辨率16天合成的MODIS归一化植被指数（NDVI）数据,以及90m分辨率的研究区DEM数据,根据典型地物第97天至第289天期间的NDVI变化曲线特征,构建典型湿地地物信息提取模型,对辉河湿地面积进行提取。利用距研究区最近的鄂温克旗气象站2000～2007年的气温、降水量和蒸发量数据,用灰关联分析法分析了湿地面积变化与气候因子的关系。研究结果表明,2000～2007年期间,辉河湿地面积波动变化,2000年辉河湿地面积最大,为651．75km2,2006年面积最小,为441．19km2;5—9月降水量对辉河湿地面积影响最大,它们之间的灰关联度为0．82,即当地植物生长期的降水量是影响辉河湿地面积变化的主导因子。     

闽江口琅岐岛湿地景观格局变化研究

以闽江口琅岐岛为研究区,选取1989年4月9日、1997年1月28日的Landsat TM影像和2005年1月7日的SPOT5影像为数据源,根据琅岐岛湿地的区域特点,将湿地景观划分为滩涂、灌溉水田、养殖水面、河漫滩、水库坑塘、河流6种类型;研究了琅岐岛湿地景观格局特征、变化和各景观类型间的转化.结果表明,3个时期的湿地面积发生明显变化,与1989年和1997年相比,2005年湿地面积大幅增加,达到4 056.12 hm2,湿地景观类型以灌溉水田、养殖水面和滩涂为主;1997年,湿地斑块数量(60块)、斑块密度(2.250 8)和景观破碎度(0.020 5)最大,人类活动对湿地景观的干扰较大;各湿地景观要素中,水库坑塘的斑块密度和分离度指数最大,斑块小,分布零散,灌溉水田的斑块密度和分离度指数最小,表明灌溉水田斑块大且连通件好,破碎化程度低;研究期间,除河流较稳定外,其他类型湿地面积变化较明显,面积变化较大的是养殖水面和灌溉水田;与1989年相比.2005年养殖水面面积净增1 124.01 hm2,其中由其他类型湿地转化的面积有541.44 hm2,还有582.57 hm2由非湿地转化而来;灌溉水田面积净增252.54 hm2,除各类湿地之间转出、转入外,另有761.76 hm2由非湿地转入;在人类活动干扰下,琅岐岛湿地景观多样性趋于增加.     

松嫩平原湿地动态变化及其驱动力研究

利用 1986年和 2 0 0 0年的遥感影像解译得到的土地利用图 ,提取出松嫩平原湿地动态变化信息。根据土地利用变化动态度模型 ,湿地动态变化主要表现为湖泊、沼泽、河流等天然湿地的减少及人工湿地面积的增加 ,其中天然湿地类型的湖泊和沼泽变化最为显著 ;质心模型分析指出湿地的空间变化趋势主要为质心相对朝东北方向偏移的趋势 ,湖泊和沼泽在西南部的减少是其主要原因 ;湖泊和沼泽的转移变化信息表明 ,湖泊面积的减少主要是退化为盐碱地和沼泽 ,而沼泽主要是转化为农田。松嫩平原湿地动态变化存在显著的自然和人为方面的驱动力因素 ,自然因素为湿地的退化提供了内在动因 ,而人为因素则加速了湿地的退化和转化 ,同时自然和人为因素之间存在着反馈机制。     

莱州湾南岸滨海湿地变化及其原因分析

以1992年和2004年的TM遥感影像为数据源,从景观生态学角度,对1992年和2004年的莱州湾南岸湿地及其变化进行了研究。结果表明,与1992年相比,2004年研究区湿地面积减少了32．339km2,其中,自然湿地面积减少了246．189km2,而人工湿地面积却增加了213．851km2,至2004年,人工湿地面积已占研究区湿地总面积的78．22％;湿地景观多样性指数下降了0．1077,景观优势度指数和景观破碎化指数分别上升至0．109和0．0089。自然湿地被大面积垦殖,湿地淡水资源不足,大规模开采沿海卤水资源,环境污染加剧,风暴潮等自然灾害频发,是导致研究区自然湿地萎缩的主要因素。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
