呼和浩特市城市边缘区景观格局动态变化研究

利用GIS技术对1987，2000年两期航空遥感影像进行空间叠加对比分析，从斑块及景观2个尺度对呼和浩特市城市边缘区景观格局变化进行了研究。结果表明：在斑块尺度上，边缘区两期景观结构均以农田景观为基质，研究期内，农田景观、草地景观等缓慢减少，建筑景观明显增多；在景观尺度上，边缘区景观多样性指数趋于增大，优势度指数趋于降低．景观组分趋于复杂化、破碎化和多元化。分析其影响因素可知：经济发展和城市化的加快、政策导向是变化的根本原因，人口的增加、土地利用方式的改变是变化的直接原因。     

基于邻域相关的漓江流域土地利用多情景模拟与景观格局变化

建模和情景分析是土地利用变化研究的核心内容。选择旅游业高速发展的漓江流域为研究区,利用基于邻域相关构建空间权重的Auto-logistic 模型代替传统的Logistic 回归,构建CLUE-S 模型,对研究区2020 年土地利用格局进行多情景模拟,并通过景观格局指数对比分析不同发展情景下的景观格局特征。结果表明：① 利用邻域相关构建空间权重的Auto-logistic模型在预测土地空间分布概率方面较传统的Logistic 模型具有更好的预测能力;② 建设用地和草地高度破碎化、水域面积不稳定是漓江流域景观脆弱性的主要来源;③ 旅游地发展需要稳定、多样的景观格局。一方面要合理控制人为活动主导的用地类型对景观格局的冲击,另一方面应兼顾景观多样性,实现用地在社会经济和生态环境之间的协调。     

快速城市化地区景观组分在地形梯度上的分布特征研究

采用地形位指数综合描述深圳市龙华地区的地形差异，并在此基础上，利用无量纲的分布指数对景观组分的空间分布特征进行了半定量分析，结果表明，地形位指数可以综合地反映地形条件的空间分布和差异信息，分布指数用于描述某各组分的实际分布与标准分布的差异，可以排险面积的干扰，为各种经较分析创造了条件，研究时段内龙华地区景观组分在地形位梯度上整体分布格局的复杂性显著增加，人为景观改造活动主要表现为一种中尺度土地利用结构调整行为，并有助于对不同地形条件下的土地利用进行加严格的分工，地形差异则是大尺度景观整体格局形成的基本骨架。     

GIS与RS技术支持下的北京西北地区景观格局优化

在区域尺度上以城市化过程为特征的土地利用活动对景观功能的稳定和景观结构的差异性有着深刻的影响。选择北京西北地区为研究区域, 应用RS 与GIS 技术, 对1989 年、1996 年、2005 年三期LANDSAT TM 图像进行解译判读, 深入分析研究区景观格局时空变化特征, 发现城市扩展造成了生态绿地破碎化、景观连通性降低及景观单一等一系列问题。在此基础上, 本研究以景观流运行受距离、障碍等因素影响原理作为出发点, 采用累积耗费距离模型, 结合景观组分的生态系统服务功能价值和空间作用, 研究了北京西北地区景观结构紧密性和生态功能空间差异, 进而构建源地、生态廊道和生态节点等景观组分来加强生态网络的空间联系, 最后提出本研究区域的景观格局优化方案。该研究方法及结果对北京地区景观生态规划和建设具有重要的理论依据和和参考价值。     

秦岭中山区山地景观格局变化及驱动力分析——以宁陕县长安河流域为例

应用RS和GIS的方法,通过对1994年、1999年、2003年三期遥感影像的解译分析,结合野外考察,翻阅相关资料,对长安河流域近10 a来景观格局进行分析.以期得到秦岭中山区长安河流域近10 a间景观格局变化及驱动力因素.结果表明:近10 a间研究区景观斑块面积和斑块的数茸发生明显变化,天然次生有林地、人为影响次生林地、荒草地三种景观类型斑块数量大幅度增加;研究区景观多样性增加、景观破碎度指数增大、景观分维数增加,景观异质性增强;研究区各景观面积动态度变化显著,主要景观类型面积呈现"两增三减"的变化规律.自然环境的制约作用、人为活动干扰作用、政策导向作用作为本区景观格局变化的主要驱动力,决定和影响了景观格局的变化趋势,进而了本区生态环境的变化.     

GIS、RS支持下的石羊河流域景观利用优化研究

选择干旱内陆河石羊河流域为研究区,分析该流域过去20 a间在生态环境自然演替和人类活动干涉下的景观格局特征。从整体上看,研究区各景观类型的利用向非均匀化方向发展,说明区域内各景观类型间的比例差异进一步增加,这种变化在一定程度上反映了人类活动对景观整体的影响。依据累积耗费距离理论,采用最小累积阻力表面(MARS)和耗费表面(MCR)模型,借助表面扩散技术,研究了该流域景观结构紧密性和生态功能空间差异,进而构建源地、生态廊道和生态节点等景观组分来加强生态网络的空间联系,最后提出景观利用优化方案。     

乌梁素海湿地时空动态演化

以半荒漠地区乌梁素海湿地为研究区域,利用GIS、RS技术结合景观生态学的理论和方法,对1986-2008年不同时间、空间粒度的多源遥感影像进行信息提取,描述不同类型区景观斑块指数动态变化,进行湿地生态资源时空异质性分析,对乌梁素海湿地类型区之间的演化关系和演化方向进行研究,定量分析湿地各类型区景观动态演化趋势。结果表明：景观破碎化程度降低,明水区丧失,水下水草丛生,以芦苇为主的大型挺水植物平均面积约占湿地的49%以上,是湖泊湿地类型区演化的主导类型。湿地时空格局演变和气候、水文条件及人为影响相关,再现了人类活动对湿地景观的干扰过程和干扰强度。     

青海玉树藏族自治州景观结构时空变化的分析

本文利用1987、1997和2007年遥感数据,结合野外调查,以玉树藏族自治州为例,研究20年来景观空间格局的时空变化特征。结果表明,研究区草地景观面积减少,农田和荒地增加;草地斑块的分布越来越分散,斑块面积减小。草地和森林植被是玉树藏族自治州主要的植物资源景观,草地的连通性比较高;人为干扰和气候的变化是研究区景观时空变化的主要原因。研究结果为该区域生态保护对策的制定和环境的可持续发展管理提供了理论依据和技术的指导。     

基于RS相GIS的九龙江河口湿地景观变化驱动力研究

利用1986年和2000年遥感影像作为基本信息源,在RS和GIS技术的支持下,建立湿地空间数据库.运用景观生态学原理,选取反应景观空间结构和景观异质性的指数,对九龙江河口湿地景观空间格局的变化情况及其驱动力进行了分析.结果显示,1986-2000年,湿地景观发生了较大变化,人为因子是九龙江河口湿地景观变化的直接驱动力,自然因子以不同强度和方式影响湿地景观的演化.     

洞庭湖的冲淤变化和空间分布

在实测的1974，1988，1998年1：2.5万地形图的基础上，利用地理信息系统的数据处理和空间分析方法，分析洞庭湖24年来的冲淤规律，得到了2个时期（1974-1988，1988-1998）洞庭湖冲淤量和冲淤区域的空间分布位置，研究表明，洞庭湖近24个来总的趋势冲淤厚度没有明显的变化，为0.017m/a。以两期冲淤变化的趋势预测了2010年三峡工程全部完工时洞庭湖的冲淤变化状况，结果表明，1998-2010年间洞庭湖将平均淤高0.33m。最后以3年数字地形模型为基础，分析了洞庭湖24年来的不同水位下湖盆容积的变化。

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.
