山区河流宽谷段坝区土地利用动态变化及其与河道关系——以南汀河下游坝区为例

采用ISODATA非监督分类方法,结合目视判读,对南汀河下游坝区1988年、1996年、2002年和2009年4期Landsat TM/ETM+遥感影像进行分类,以揭示研究区几十年来土地利用变化时空格局。基于遥感分类结果,运用单一土地利用动态度、综合土地利用动态度、土地利用转移率等指标,进一步分析了研究区土地利用变化强度与速率,以及土地利用变化强度与河道的关系。研究结果表明,南汀河下游坝区土地利用类型以园地为主,耕地次之,未利用土地、水域和建设用地所占比例均较小;近年来研究区土地利用变化有所加剧,1988～1996年、1996～2002年和2002～2009年3个时期综合土地利用动态度分别为1.83%、2.89%和3.05%,其中建设用地、未利用土地(主要为河滩裸地)、耕地的变动幅度较大;研究时段内,未利用土地面积由32.60 km2减小到9.68km2,而同期建设用地面积持续大幅增加,耕地先增后减,园地则先减后增;在距河岸1.5 km范围内,综合土地利用动态度随离河岸距离的增加而变小。     

喀斯特生态脆弱区猫跳河流域土地利用/覆被变化研究

LUCC是当前国际全球变化研究的前沿和热点领域,喀斯特生态脆弱区的土地利用/覆被变化是国际LUCC研究中的薄弱环节。以贵州中部的典型喀斯特流域——猫跳河流域为例,通过详实的地面调查,以1973年的Landsat-MSS影像、1990年和2002年的Landsat-TM影像为数据源,在RS、G IS、GPS为核心的"三S"集成技术支撑下,应用单一土地利用动态度、单一土地利用转入率和转出率、综合土地利用动态度、土地利用度以及土地覆被变化空间指数等指标,定量研究了该流域在过去30 a间的土地利用/覆被的变化特征。研究表明:(1)研究区的土地覆被类型主要以耕地、灌草地、灌木林以及有林地为主;(2)1970年代以来,土地利用/覆被变化剧烈,各地类之间的变化幅度存在较大差别,水田、灌木林、其他林地、灌草地等地类先减后增,旱地和裸岩地先增后减,有林地、水域、城镇建设用地、农村居民点、交通工矿用地等持续增加;⑶1973~1990年的土地利用动态度和土地利用度均比1990~2002年大,前一时期的裸岩地明显增加,土地利用具有明显的不可持续性,进入1990年后,裸岩地缩减,流域生态环境质量趋于好转;⑷伴随着分布面积在平面空间上的张缩,各地类的平均分布高程和坡度在垂直方向上也出现了相应的变化。     

共和盆地龙羊峡库区1987-1999年间土地覆被变化过程

 利用多时相多光谱遥感数据,针对研究区环境特点及已有研究程度,综合最大似然法监督分类、基于地理知识的多尺度空间分层聚类的部分监督分类方法和主成分方法,分析了位于黄河上游的龙羊峡水库库区1987—1999年间土地利用和覆盖变化过程。结果表明:①库区土地利用与土地覆盖总趋势是土地退化、覆盖度降低,此期间各盖度草场面积共减少500.82 km2,年均减少41.73 km2,其中高盖度草场退化最为严重,13 a间来面积减少361.25 km2,年均减少30.10 km2;土地沙漠化发展速度很快,13 a间沙地面积增加了219.81 km2,年均增加18.32 km2。②库区草场退化,土地沙漠化日趋严重,高盖度草场退化为中盖度草场的面积为70.29 km2,沙漠化面积为60.96 km2;中盖度草场退化为低盖度草场的面积为34.31 km2,沙漠化面积为80.75 km2;低盖度草场退化为沙地的面积为76.50 km2。③库区土地利用、土地覆盖变化在地域空间上具有较大差异性,土地利用、土地覆盖变化最为显著、强烈的区域为黄河西岸的塔拉滩,草场总面积减少215.43 km2,占全区草场退化量的43%;水浇地面积增加32.50 km2,是全区内水浇地面积增幅最大的区域,占全区水浇地增加量的51%;沙地面积扩大158.41 km2,年均增长率为13.2%。河卡滩土地利用类型变化幅度是全区最小的,有些类型基本没有发生变化。分析库区土地利用、土地覆盖变化的主要因素在于自然因素,但从局部区域来看,人为因素在环境变化中起着主导性作用。     

博格达峰地区气候变化特征及其对冰川变化的影响

20世纪中叶以来,随着全球变暖加剧,中国冰川普遍发生了退缩,对局地人民生活、生存环境及社会经济产生了深刻的影响,对位于西北干旱区的博格达峰地区尤为突出.本文首先采用趋势分析、突变检验和小波变换等方法对研究区周边气温、降水进行研究,同时应用Landsat l-4、5、7MSS、TM/ETM+影像分析1972-2013年博格达峰区冰川变化特征,在此基础上系统探讨冰川变化与该区气候变化之间的响应关系.结果表明:①1960-2013年研究区气温、降水变化倾向分别为0.19℃/10 a和12.4 mm/l0 a;年平均气温在1990年前后存在显著突变,年降水量在1985年前后存在突变.气温主要表现为8～10 a的周期,降水周期性较差.目前处于气温偏高、降水偏少期;②1972-2013年冰川面积减少46.71±1.32 km2,年均退缩率为0.66％±0.02％,冰川退缩趋势明显.其中1972-1990年,冰川年均退缩率为0.44％±0.03％;近20年来冰川退缩加剧,年均退缩率达到0.78％±0.09％;③通过分形理论对研究区冰川空间结构特征分析表明,预计未来冰川消融率将趋于稳定,但仍处于较高状态;④对比中国西部各地区冰川的变化,发现该地区冰川退缩和其他区域退缩速率相吻合;⑤1990年之前博格达峰地区冰川变化受温度和降水共同控制,1990年之后冰川退缩主要由气温上升引起.     

潮白河上游土地利用的时空变化特征与驱动力分析

本文以1990年和2000年两期土地利用数据和社会经济数据为基础,采用变化率、土地利用转移矩阵、动态度等指数分析方法,对潮白河上游1990~2000年间土地利用的变化及驱动因子进行了分析。结果表明,在1990年到2000年10年间,由于生态保护和植树造林,潮白河上游土地利用发生了很大变化,突出表现为草地与耕地往林地的转移。从变化的空间差异看,赤城县以及几个县的交界地区土地利用变化最剧烈。从土地利用变化的原因看,生态建设和农业结构调整对土地利用影响深刻,是区域土地利用变化最重要的驱动因子。     

海岸带城市土地利用变化分析—以江苏盐城市为例

土地利用/覆被变化（LUCC）是全球变化和区域可持续发展研究的核心问题。海岸带是陆地海洋相互作用和人类活动最敏感的区域,海岸带LUCC的研究对适应环境和自然的挑战具有重要意义。本文以江苏沿海具有代表性的盐城市作为研究区,选取1978-2007年5期Landsat MSS/TM影像作为数据源,在参考国内外遥感分类系统的基础上,结合研究区实际,建立遥感分类系统,使用主成分分析（PCA）遥感分类方法和分类后比较变化检测方法,并在GIS分析技术支持下获取盐城市近30年的土地利用变化数据,分析其结构、数量、速率及格局变化。结果表明：（1）从土地利用结构上看,研究时段内盐城市土地利用变化较大,但利用结构相对稳定;土地利用类型以耕地为主,但近几年城市建设用地大量增加,比重不断攀升;（2）从土地利用变化数量、速率上看,不同时期土地利用类型变化剧烈,一级地类数量增长最大的是建设用地,其中城镇建设用地由1978年的167.01 km2扩张至2007年的725.19 km2,增长至原来的4.34倍,城镇建设用地变化速率在2004-2007年高达15%以上;（3）从空间格局变化看,盐城市中心城区特别是开发区和新辟为市区的盐都区发展速度最快,而滨海港、大丰港的建设和周边国有盐场的改制也显著促进了沿海地区的发展。     

丹江口库区1990-2010年土地利用时空动态变化研究

以Landsat TM和HJ-1影像为数据源,运用CART(classification and regression tree)决策树分类方法提取了丹江口库区1990,1995,2000,2005,2010年的土地利用信息,在此基础上采用土地利用转移矩阵、土地利用动态度和单一土地利用类型相对变化率等评价指标全面分析了丹江口库区1990-2010年土地利用时空变化情况,并对土地利用变化的主要原因进行了探讨.研究表明:1990-2010年丹江口库区土地利用变化主要表现为灌木大量转化为林地,耕地大量转为草地、灌木、建设用地、林地和园地;库区地质地貌、降雨条件、生态建设工程、经济利益、库区工程建设、移民安置和城镇迁建以及城市化的发展是丹江口库区土地利用变化的主要驱动因素.丹江口库区土地利用变化研究为库区生态环境建设和土地可持续利用提供有效的决策支持.     

喀斯特地区土地利用变化研究——以贵州省为例

分析贵州省1996-2008年土地利用变化情况,揭示土地利用变化差异状况及驱动因子.基于贵州省1996-2008年土地利用变更调查数据,利用土地利用结构信息熵和均衡度、土地利用类型年均变化幅度、年均变化率与相对变化率5个指数,分析土地利用变化情况.结果表明:(1)13年间,贵州省土地利用变化主要以耕地和林地的变化为主,土地利用结构变化表现出林地、园地、居民点及工矿用地、水域、交通用地明显增加,耕地、牧草地和未利用地减少.(2)贵州省土地利用结构信息熵和均衡度呈现"上升--下降--上升"的过程,总体呈增长趋势.(3)8类土地利用类型中,园地的区域变化差异较大,牧草地区域变化差异较小;贵州省西部地区的土地利用类型变化较东部地区显著.贵州省土地利用结构变化的主要驱动力是生态退耕政策的实施和经济社会的发展.     

永定河流域典型区土地利用/覆被变化

在遥感与地理信息系统技术支持下,利用研究区多期Landsat-TM卫星影像为主要数据源,在GIS空间分析模块下应用单一土地利用平均动态度、单一土地利用平均转出率和转入率、综合土地利用动态度以及土地覆被变化空间指数等指标,对永定河流域典型山区--门头沟区土地利用/覆被变化的格局与过程进行了定量研究.研究表明:1.过去21 a期间,研究区的土地利用/覆被发生了比较剧烈的变化,在1984～2005年期间不同时间断面呈现波动变化,各地类之间的变化幅度存在较大差别,但总的趋势是:工矿、城镇用地面积呈明显增加趋势,耕地、水体、农村居民点、草地和其他用地呈减少趋势,而林地中阔叶林、灌木林呈增加,混交林地与针叶林地减少,林地总量总体上是呈增加态势.2.各地类变化方向和强度存在较大差异,不同时间断面发生情况各不相同,各地类有增有减,有持续增加型,先增后减型,先减后增型;三个时间断面的土地覆被变化速度、类型转化、以及土地利用程度发生变化.3.在不同时间断面各地类的水平空间分布发生转移,平均分布高程和坡度在垂直空间上出现了相应的变化.     

贵州省关岭县土地利用/土地覆被变化及土壤侵蚀效应研究

以贵州省关岭县为例,利用1987和1999年两个时段TM影象和相关资料,分析研究区12年间的土地利用/土地覆被变化及其土壤侵蚀风险。发现:(1)研究区土地利用动态变化较大,年均土地利用综合动态指数为1.36%;(2)旱地和草地互相转化比例高,草地开垦为旱地和旱地弃耕为草地的动态变化幅度远远超过旱地和草地最终面积变化的幅度;(3)山区土地利用的空间变化主要体现在垂直方向;(4)研究区裸土面积下降,一部分被植被覆盖,另一部分由于土壤流失殆尽,形成裸露基岩,故植被覆盖率和基岩出露率上升;(5)石漠化程度加剧,其中旱地石漠化发展速度最快;(6)土壤侵蚀形势严峻。

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.
