三江并流区云南贡山片植被景观类型分布特征

以三江并流区云南贡山片为例,以Landsat ETM+影像为数据源,基于3S技术进行植被景观制图,分析景观类型的分布特征。结果表明:1.研究区是典型的高山峡谷地区,海拔3 000~4 000 m的区域占总面积近一半,坡度25°以上的山地面积占84.82%;景观类型分布受垂直空间分异主导;河流、河漫滩和湖泊等景观主要分布在平缓地段,自然植被景观多分布在25°~45°的陡坡上,人工植被景观分布的坡度范围相对较缓;自然植被景观在各坡向上的分布较为均匀;人工植被景观及积雪/冰川景观、岩石景观等分布则体现出一定的空间分异;2.山地森林植被构成研究区景观的基质类型;由于植被景观的垂直分异,构成基底的各类景观类型的优势度随海拔变化,河谷地段的中山湿性常绿阔叶林、中山-亚高山的铁杉-常绿阔叶混交林、亚高山-高山的云冷杉/落叶松林优势度较高,高山-亚高山以杜鹃灌丛为优势景观类型;3.从斑块粒度上看,小斑块数量最多,占总斑块数的80.87%,中斑块占11.36%,其余均在3%以下;优势自然景观类型具有较大的巨斑块数;巨斑块面积比例最大,达到68.99%,其余斑块大小等级的分布面积比例在3%~9%之间。     

岷江干旱河谷中心地段植被微尺度空间格局特征

微尺度景观格局是景观生态学的一个研究热点.干旱河谷是横断山区一类特殊的生态系统类型,生态脆弱,生态退化潜在风险大.选择四川茂县两河口典型样地干旱河谷微尺度景观格局进行研究.研究表明,样地上分布的景观类型多样,斑块类型有19个,植被景观总斑块达3 383个,以基质分布为主,植被斑块状镶嵌其中,主要以中生性耐旱植物为主,植被覆盖度为42.25％.植被景观类型大部分为豆科类灌丛景观,整个景观由川甘亚菊、刺蓬、瓦松、茂汶韭、狗尾草、小角柱花、侧柏、臭椿、滇柏、卷柏、元宝枫、岷江柏景观斑块控制.植被景观分布特征为,帚菊斑块面积最大且分布均匀,小马鞍羊蹄甲斑块最大且聚集度最高,狗尾草斑块破碎化程度最大,蚊子草斑块多样性程度最大,小角柱花多样性程度最小且分布最散.通过空间自相关性分析,研究区植物分布呈现较高的正相关性和空间聚集性,在尺度2m×2m空间自相关值最大,未来干旱河谷区微尺度空间格局研究尺度在这个尺度较适宜.     

重庆市浅丘带坝区土地利用与景观空间格局分析

选取重庆市沙坪坝区陈家镇为研究区,采用其建立的土地利用现状数据库,运用GIS的图形处理与空间分析功能,生成6种景观格局图并输入Fragstats for ArcView3.X软件,提取景观格局指数,借助于景观格局指数在生态过程与土地利用间所建立的一种关联,分析并探讨土地利用诱发下景观空间格局特征的响应.其结果:水田景观在景观类型中占据着绝对优势,其连接度表现较高,是景观类型明显的基质,受人类活动干扰强;冬水田景观要素接近于水田景观本底,且冬水田景观要素斑块个数、类型面积随着河流缓冲区距离的增大而增加;旱地景观中各景观要素斑块总体上分布比较零散,规律性不强;农村居民点景观要素是建设用地景观的主要类型,其斑块几何形状简单、规整,各斑块间的相似性强,外围边界接近于正方形或者矩形.     

祁连山东段山地景观格局变化及其生态脆弱性分析

以RS和GIS技术为主要手段,分析了祁连山东段地区1994-2008年的景观格局变化及其生态脆弱性。结果表明：（1）与1994年相比,森林、草地、冰雪带、水域4种景观要素的面积分别减少了5.0%、2.0%、2.2%、2.0%,而灌木和裸地的面积则分别增加了6.8%、5.0%;灌木、草地、冰雪带和裸地景观要素的平均斑块面积分别增加了49.0%、19.0%、1.1%、436.6%,森林和水域平均斑块面积分别减小了9.6%和4.1%。（2）森林、草地、冰雪带、水域4种景观要素的平均最邻近距离增加,聚集度降低,各景观要素内部斑块之间聚集度减小。灌木与森林景观要素之间的空间邻接长度增加了3 867 km,裸地与其他景观要素之间的空间邻接长度增加了5 589 km,嵌缀在其他各种景观要素中的裸地小斑块逐渐融合成大斑块。（3）景观类型脆弱度指数与破碎度指数之间显著正相关,分维数倒数、分离度指数和沙化敏感性指数与景观类型脆弱度指数呈弱度正相关。祁连山东段地区森林和草地退化,面积萎缩、水域干涸,裸地面积增加,各景观要素的空间关系趋于简单,景观破碎化增加。人类活动所引起的景观破碎化是祁连山东段地区景观格局和景观脆弱性变化的决定性因素。     

基于两种新型景观指数的张掖绿洲植被格局动态研究

通过遥感与GIS技术分析张掖绿洲植被格局动态,验证了Frohn(1998)提出的两种新型景观指数PPU(Patch Per Unit)和SqP(Sq)[Square Pixel]在时间序列上对于植被景观格局分析的适用性和敏感性。分析结果显示PPU和SqP(Sq)指数分别对应聚集度和分维数这两种传统景观指数呈相似的变化趋势和统计相关性,但其针对景观类型的变异系数相对于聚集度和分维数都较高,即其指数值对各植被斑块类型辨识的敏感性更强,对景观破碎化程度和斑块形状复杂度的时空演变具有更好的预测性。通过对新型景观指数特性的分析及动态对比,表明张掖绿洲植被景观的空间异质性和斑块形状复杂度呈现逐渐增强的总体态势。     

河西走廊中西段肃州区景观空间格局研究

景观空间格局研究是景观生态学研究的核心之一。运用景观生态学原理,借助GIS技术(ArcGIS 8．1)和Fragstats Version 3．3软件,基于2000年Landsat5 的4、3、2(RGB)波段合成影像解译结果．将研究区分为19个景观要素,选取斑块特征指数(斑块伸长指数、斑块密度、边缘密度、分维数)、景观多样性指数(香农多样性指数、均匀度、优势度)和景观空间构型指数(蔓延度、破碎度、分离度)等指标,对酒泉市肃州区进行了景观格局研究。结果表明：(1)肃州区景观的主要斑块类型为戈壁(沙地)、耕地、盐碱地和低覆盖草地,体现了景观的基质是戈壁沙地和农牧业绿洲类型的特点;(2)斑块特征指数表现为：农村居民点、耕地和低覆盖草地斑块密度较大,耕地、戈壁、低覆盖草地和盐碱地斑块边缘密度较大,反映出农村居民点多而分散,草地退化和耕地碎片化状况;(3)景观多样性指数SHDI表明景观异质性较高的特点,SHEI则表明景观中有一定的优势类型,以戈壁、耕地和盐碱地等景观类型占优势;(4)景观空间构型指数蔓延度反映了聚集度适中的特点,破碎度则反映肃州区景观总体受人类活动干扰相对较小,戈壁、耕地、沙地、盐碱地分离度较小,反映出肃州区这些景观类型占较大面积,斑块相对聚集,构成控制性生态景观。     

基于GIS的徐州市区景观格局变化分析

以徐州市区2000年和2006年土地利用基础数据为数据源,建立景观类型与土地利用类型的对应关系。将徐州市区景观划分成农业景观、园林绿地景观、居住景观、工业景观、商服公共设施景观、水体景观、交通景观和其他景观8种类型,获得2000,2006年徐州市区景观分类图。计算出景观格局指数,利用GIS的空间分析功能,对徐州市区景观格局及其变化特征进行分析。结果表明:在城市化驱动下,徐州市区农业景观主要向居住景观、工业景观转移,商服公共设施景观、居住景观和工业景观的相互转移频繁;农业景观在空间上逐渐分散,其余的景观类型呈现聚集的趋势;徐州市区呈现出景观异质性程度、斑块破碎化程度和斑块复杂化程度均加强的景观格局变化趋势。     

石羊河流域海拔、植被覆盖与景观类型空间关系研究

 以Landsat/TM为数据源,在桌面GIS支持下解译出研究区各景观类型,根据植被的生长周期,结合植被指数[WTBX]NDVI[WTBZ]作为研究因子,采用目前较为流行的主成分变换法（PCA）,结合景观类型图和数字高程模型(DEM),参考相关地理基础图件,对石羊河流域海拔和植被覆盖进行分级分类。运用叠置分析法研究了不同海拔高度和不同植被覆盖下[WTBX]NDVI[WTBZ]变化情况;同时分析了各景观类型与海拔和植被覆盖三者之间的空间关系。结果表明：研究区各景观类型大体依海拔呈垂直性分布,各自然要素组成垂直分异性特征亦较为明显。植被覆盖、景观类型与海拔之间呈垂直型分布规律,低海拔区景观类型单一,主要为荒漠系统,且与植被覆盖关系密切,相关度也最高;高海拔区景观类型较为复杂并交错分布,与植被覆盖关系不大,拟合效果不理想。此次研究目的在于对石羊河流域景观格局特征和格局优化研究提供参考思路,对流域生态规划和治理提供依据,对干旱内陆河流域植被及生态环境变化研究具有深远意义。     

基于ALOS数据的浑善达克沙质草地风蚀坑空间格局及特征分析

以2008年的ALOS卫星多光谱波段（空间分辨率10 m）和全色波段（空间分辨率2.5 m）融合后的影像数据及地面调查数据为数据源,借助ArcGIS和Fragstats3.3软件,采用景观格局指数方法,从类型和斑块水平上定量分析了浑善达克沙质草地风蚀坑的空间格局和特征。结果表明,浑善达克沙质草地风蚀坑面积占景观面积的6.1%,密度为0.026个·hm-2,分布范围广且呈局部聚集分布;根据不同发育阶段,风蚀坑形状分为碟形、椭圆形、槽形和不规则形;风蚀坑斑块面积与形状指数、分维数之间存在显著正相关关系,面积的增加,可使风蚀坑形状复杂化趋势明显。复杂形状风蚀坑主要由若干个独立的风蚀坑扩大并联结形成;相对于宽度与深度,风蚀坑面积与长度间存在更显著正相关;浑善达克沙质草地风力侵蚀基准面较高,风蚀坑深度一般不超过5 m;风蚀坑长度与宽度之间、宽度与深度之间存在相互制约关系。     

桂西北喀斯特区常绿落叶阔叶混交林种群种间联结性与相关性

通过AC测定、X~2检验、Pearson相关检验和Spearman秩相关检验多种指标,分别测定广西木论国家自然保护区9个乔木优势种群在6种不同尺度取样面积下的种间联结性和相关性.结果表明:在中亚热带石灰岩常绿落叶阔叶混交林内,种间联结性测定的取样面积以64-100 m~2为宜,而在9×9 m~2取样中最能体现优势种群的种问联结性及整个群落的特征;9种优势种组成的36对种对中,有15对存在显著或极显著关联,其中正关联12对,占所有显著或极显著关联对数的80%,占所有种对数的33.33%;负关联3对,占所有关联对数的20%,占所有种对数的8.33%.

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.
