FRACTAL ANALYSIS APPLIED TO SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF CHINA＇S VEGETATION

Based on the fractal theory, the spatial structure of China＇s vegetation has been analyzed quantitatively in this paper. Some conclusions are drawn as the following. 1） The relationships between size and frequency of patch area and patch shape index exist objectively for China＇s vegetation. 2） The relationships between perimeter and area exist objectively for China＇s vegetation. 3） The fractal dimension of evergreen needleleaf forests on mountains in subtropical and tropical zones is the largest, while the smallest for deciduous broadleafand evergreen needleleaf mixed forests in temperate zone, reflecting the most complex spatial structure for evergreen needleleaf forests on mountains in subtropical and tropical zones and the simplest for deciduous broadleaf and evergreen needleleaf mixed forests in temperate zone. 4） The fractal dimensions of China＇s vegetation types tend to decrease from thc subtropics to both sides. 5） The stability of spatial structure of deciduous broadleaf and evergreen needleleaf mixed forests in temperate zone is the largest, while the smallest for double-cropping rice, or double-cropping rice and temperate-like grain, and tropical evergreen economic tree plantations and orchards, reflecting the steadiest for deciduous broadleaf and evergreen needleleaf mixed forests in temperate zone and the most unstable for double-cropping rice, or double-cropping rice and temperate-like grain, and tropical evergreen economic tree plantations and orchards in spatial structure. 6） The stability of spatial structure of China＇s vegetation tends to decrease from the temperate zone to both sides, it is significantly pertinent to understand the formation, evolution, dynamics and complexity rule of ecosystem of vegetation.     

A study on landscape mosaic structure in urban-rural area in Northwest of China with RS and GIS

At the study area of Xigu District in Lanzhou City, using RS & GIS as tools we apply Diversity, Dominance, Fragmentation, Isolation and so on to study the quantitative, fractal and spatial characters of landscapes structures in the four sub-regions divided by the morphological features.

Fractal Character of China Bedrock Coastline

Fractal theory was applied to a preliminary discussion of the fractal character and formation mechanism of the coastline of the bedrock coast of China on the basis of GIS ( Geographical Information System). Some significant conclusions were drawn : ( 1 ) The fractal dimensions of the coastline and linear structures of Liaodong Peninsula are 1.0093 and 1.0246 respectively, those of Shandong Peninsula are 1.019 and 1.021 respectively, etc. (2) The fractal dimensions of coastlines of Liaodong Peninsula, Shandong Peninsula, Zhejiang and Fujian-Guangdong tend to increase with the spatial change from north to south. (3)The regional linear structures( including faults)control the basic trends and fractal dimensions of coastlines as a whole in the regions of the bedrock coast of China : the more the controlling effect of linear structures, the smaller the fractal dimensions of coastlines. (4)The substantial constituents of coast and biologic function both play an important role in affecting the fractal dimensions of coastlines of Liaodong Peninsula,Shandong Peninsula, Zhejiang, Fujian-Guangdong and Taiwan Island.     

FRACTAL ANALYSIS APPLIED TO SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF CHINA''''S VEGETATION

2000-2014年中国重特大煤矿事故时空分布分形特征

本文汇总整理了2000-2014年中国发生的472起重特大煤矿事故,获得其空间分布状况;基于分形理论,利用网格法统计不同网格尺度下覆盖重特大煤矿事故的非空网格中的事故数量,计算煤矿事故的全国、三大自然地理区以及干湿分区的分维值,分析其空间分布分形特征;利用R/S方法研究15年来重特大煤矿事故发生的时间分形特征。研究表明,从全国范围来看,重特大煤矿事故具有较好的空间分形特性,但不同区域的重特大煤矿事故的分形特性却具有很大差别。15年来发生重特大事故数量及事故死亡人数逐年下降,由R/S分析得到的Hurst指数表明事故时间序列的分形特征客观存在,并且年发生事故数量及事故死亡人数量减少趋势。     

论矿床的分形性质

地壳中元素和矿化分布的不均匀性是一个普遍规律。从超大型矿床→大型矿床→小型矿床→矿点、矿化点（或高异常点）的分布，是近似于从有限稀硫分布逼近无穷多且无限稀硫分布。因此可以把矿床的分布看成是随机康托集（Cantordust）在空间上的分布。浙江中生代热液萤石、银、铅锌矿床的分形丛集分布存在于两个尺度范围内，分形丛集的分维数为0．196～0．40（1～20km）和1．161～1．219（20～750km）。矿床的频度—大小分布也是分形的，其储量分形分布的分维数为：萤石（中国）D=2．13；萤石（浙江）D=2．34；银（浙江）D=1．63；铅锌（浙江）D=2．27；钨（中国）D=2．16；铜（世界）D=2．55。我们认为，矿床储量的分形分布，对于各种标度的成矿作用可能是一个普遍性的特征。根据矿床的频度—大小分形关系，有可能对一地区大于某一指定储量的潜在矿床数作出预测。     

分形定量选择遥感影像最佳空间分辨率的方法与实验

遥感影像观测尺度是遥感信息提取研究的重要内容之一,也是遥感信息提取的焦点。以往,遥感影像尺度特征的分析大多基于地统计学,其主要体现遥感影像中的线性特征,而实质上遥感影像中既存在线性特征,又存在非线性特征。因此,在深入剖析遥感影像尺度效应及分形特征机理的基础上,本文探讨了分形理论定量选择遥感影像最佳空间分辨率（也称最佳像元观测尺度）的方法。以IKONOS全色影像的建筑用地、耕地、林地为研究对象,分别使用FBM、DBM、TPM 3种分形维数计算模型,实现了3种地物在不同空间分辨率下分形维数的计算。实验结果表明,每种地物的分形维数是随空间分辨率的增大,总体呈下降趋势,且在某些特征空间分辨率上会出现拐点。从遥感影像尺度效应分析可知,遥感影像空间格局随尺度的不同,其内部结构也不同。且随着尺度的增大,很多细节将会被忽略,影像的粗糙度也随着降低。而分形维数是目前为止描述对象自相似性和不规则度的唯一基本量化值,其直观上与物体表面的粗糙程度相吻合。因此,这些拐点对应的分形维数对地物的最佳空间分辨率的选择具有一定指示意义。通过本文研究可知,使用分形理论方法研究遥感影像最佳空间分辨率（或最佳像元观测尺度）,打破以往观测尺度方法研究范畴,从不同角度去分析遥感影像观测尺度问题对GIS研究与地学应用具有一定的理论和指导意义。     

闽台建设用地图像数据空间特征分形对比研究

利用2002年闽、台ASTER影像数据,运用分形几何学理论、数理统计方法,对闽台建设用地分布的空间特征进行分析。研究结果表明,分维值是定量刻画土地利用类型空间格局的重要参数,对遥感影像中直接提取土地利用类型的图形因子进行不同区域土地利用分形结构的差异研究,具有快速、方便、准确的性质。闽、台建设用地斑块的空间分布具有分形特征,其空间形态受自然和人文两方面因素,特别是地形地貌和交通的影响十分明显。同时台湾建设用地的平均斑块面积、分维值和规模大的斑块比重均高于福建,反映了闽、台建设用地空间特征的区域差异,这对闽、台两地,特别是福建省加强建设用地规划,合理配置空间资源,及福建省加强中心城市建设和交通规划等方面具有重要的指导意义。     

一种地图点群空间分布特征的局部分维分析方法

以分数维为分析指标的分形几何理论,为地图点群目标的空间复杂性分析提供了一种定量方法。但是研究表明,地图点群目标的分形性质往往表现出局部的非均匀特性,因此主要以研究对象整体分维估值为主的分维分析方法难以描述这种变化。本文在分维扩展方法的基础上,提出了一种基于滑动窗口的局部分维分析方法--元分维模型,并通过实践证明该方法可以有效地揭示地图点群空间分布特征的差异,从而为地图点群目标的空间分布特征分析提供了一个新的思路。     

地理空间信息的M-R曲线扩展分析

分形理论在地理空间信息的复杂性分析中具有广泛的应用前景,但是强调完全自相似为基础的单一分形维数,难以描述复杂变化的地理目标特征。本文研究表明,与分形维数相比,M-R曲线所包含的更丰富的地理空间特征信息使之成为更值得关注的分形分析对象。在此基础上,本文初步阐述了M-R曲线的性质与地理空间意义,并进一步探讨了M-R曲线的扩展分析方法,包括M-R曲线的函数拟合与分维谱分析。最后以小比例尺地图中河流数据为例,分析了我国长江、黄河两大河流的空间形态特征及其规律。实验表明,在小尺度范围内长江具有更丰富的细节变化,黄河则在更大的尺度上表现出复杂性。     

城市生长与形态双维分形模型改进及应用

分形方法是测度城市生长与形态演化的重要方法,然而其标度区范围的自然识别依然存在瓶颈。本文采用二阶导数识别半径法标度区界线,结合经典计盒法模型提出改进的双维分形标度律测算方法,以郑州市为案例区验证模型的精度与效度,综合解析郑州城市空间形态结构的生长演变特征。结果显示:① 利用二阶导数自动识别半径法标度区界线可显著提升分形模型拟合效果,拟合精度R²由0.920提升至0.996以上;② 郑州城市空间结构存有双标度现象,城市生长扩张并非标准环形波状推进,半径法模型仅在“城市中心边缘—建成区内侧”的环状范围拟合有效,城市结构可能存有自仿射生长或随机多分形特征;③ 1982—2020年郑州城市形态演化为明显的中心蔓延模式,职能用地的空间配置整体均匀程度偏高,功能分异程度较低,存有城市景观较紊乱,系统效率不高的隐患。本研究对半径法分形模型中拟合精度难以提升的应用瓶颈作出了突破性尝试,为城市生长模拟与城市空间结构演变分析提供了一种新方法,丰富了城市分形研究。     

分形城市研究进展：从几何形态到网络关联

城市是人类文明最主要的聚集地,也是一个开放复杂演化巨系统,认识其空间复杂性成为城市科学研究的热点和前沿。城市研究正呈现“从位置和场所向关联和流,从物质空间向城市网络空间”的转向。人类对城市的认识也从“空间是机器”转向“城市有机生命体”。分形是大自然的语言和地理学第四代语言,是挖掘城市空间自组织规律的有效工具,在揭示城市有机体复杂演化机制方面发挥重要作用。目前分形城市研究以指标构建和实证分析为主,缺乏系统的梳理和回顾;内容上侧重几何分形,复杂城市网络视角下的结构分形研究薄弱。本文简要回顾了近30余年来分形城市研究的发展历程,梳理了分形城市研究脉络：从城市形态的几何分形到城市结构与关联的网络分形,从静态分形特征到动态异速生长,并展望了分形城市未来研究方向。     

INFLUENCE OF SERIES OF SQUARE GRIDS ON FRACTAL DIMENSIONS—A Case Study of Mountains of China＇s Mainland

MANDELBROT enunciated the uncertainty of the length of a coastline in his paper “How long is the coastline of Britain?” published in Science in 1967. The fractal concept was presented for the first time in that paper and has been applied to many fields ever since. Although fractal dimensions of lots of phenomena were calculated by the box-counting method, the quantitative influence of series of square grids on them is ignored. The issue is systematically discussed as a case study of the mountains of China‘s Mainland in this paper. And some significant conclusions are drawn as follows: 1) Although the fractal character objectively exists in the mountains of China‘s Mainland, and it does not vary with the changes of series of square grids, the fractal dimensions of the mountains of China‘s Mainland are different with these changes. 2) The fractal dimensions of the mountains of China‘s Mainlandvary with the average lengths of sides of series of square grids. The fractal dimension of the mountains of China‘s Mainland is the function of the average length of side of square grid. They conform to the formula D=f(r) (where D is the fractal dimension, and r is the average length of side of square grid). 3) Different dots of data collection can affect the fractal dimension of the mountains of China‘s Mainland. 4) The same range of length of side of square grid and dots of data collection can ensure the comparison of fractal dimensions of the mountains of China‘ s Mainland. The research is helpful to get the more understanding of fractal and fractal dimension, and ensure that the fractal studies would be scientific.     

乌鲁木齐都市圈城镇体系发展的分形特征研究

本文首先用分形理论的集聚维数和关联维数探析了乌鲁木齐都市圈城镇体系发展的空间分形特征;然后,运用2007年和2011年的社会经济统计数据,结合分形理论的齐夫模型,运用等级规模维数并通过与中国其他都市圈的比较,研究了乌鲁木齐都市圈城镇体系发展的等级规模变化分形特征。结果表明,乌鲁木齐都市圈城镇体系集聚维数和关联维数分别为1.060和0.882,说明乌鲁木齐都市圈已经形成了以乌鲁木齐为中心呈凝聚状态分布的空间自组织体系,各城市之间相互联系比较紧密,相互作用较强。2007-2011年间,社会消费品零售总额等级规模维数变小,说明差异呈现扩大趋势,而非农业人口、GDP、一般预算财政收入等级规模维数变大,说明差异呈现缩小趋势。与其他都市圈相比,乌鲁木齐都市圈空间和规模结构还不成熟,中心城市首位性强,对周边城市带动能力弱,等级规模差异大,有待进一步优化。     

低渗透碎屑岩储层孔隙结构分形维数计算方法——以川中地区须家河组储层41块岩样为例

为对比基于含水饱和度和汞饱和度2种方法计算低渗透碎屑岩储层孔隙结构分形维数的优劣性,分别采用2种方法对川中地区须家河组41块储集岩的毛细管压力曲线进行分形维数计算.结果表明:采用汞饱和度计算的孔隙结构分形维数与排驱压力、分选因数等表征储层孔隙结构的参数相关性较好.随着岩样分形维数增大,排驱压力增大、分选因数减小,相关性明显.采用含水饱和度计算的孔隙结构分形维数与排驱压力、分选因数等相关性较差.在条件许可时,可利用恒速压汞实验计算储集岩孔隙结构分形维数.     

ON FRACTAL MECHANISM OF COASTLINE —A Case Study of China

MANDELBROT enunciated the uncertainty of the length of a coastline in his paper“How long is the coast-line of Britain?“ published in “Science“in 1967.The fractal concept was presented for the first time in that paper and has been applied to many fields ever since.According to the fractal theory and conditions of fractal research of coastline,the controls of faults and biologic function on the fractal character of coastline are preliminarily discussed on the basis of GIS in this paper.Finally,some significant conclusions are drawn:1)the faults control the basic trends of coastlines of two study areas;2)the fractal dimension of coastline of Taiwan is smaller than that of Changle-Lufent,because the faults of Taiwan more intensely control the trend and fractal dimension of the coastline;3)the larger the fractal dimension of the faults or the major faults ,the more the controlling effect of them on the trend and fractal dimension of coastline;4)the larger fractal dimension of the coastline of Changle-Lufeng indicates that the biologic function intensely shapes the coastline .In a word ,the controls of faults and biologic function on the fractal character of coastline are discussed with a case study of China in this paper,it can be seen that faults and biologic function both have influence over the trend and fractal dimension of coastline,the fractal mechanism of coastline of two study areas may be so.

Analysis on structure of igneous formation with fractal dimension of logs

Reflecting the structure of igneous formation by calculating fractal dimension of logs, the fractal dimension of pyroclastic is larger than lava. Structure of pyroclastic is more complicated than that of lava, so reflecting the structure of igneous formation's complexity with fractal dimension is feasible. It is feasible to refleet the structure of igneous formation's complexity with fractal dimension.
