SOME TRENDS OF APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING AND GIS TO QUANTITATIVE WETLAND RESEARCH

Remote sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques have been widely used in wetland research in recent years. On the Basis of absorbing the results from correlative studies, some thoughts and a frame for quantification research of wetland ecosystems by using RS and GIS are put forward . 1) In the wetland identification and classification fields, incorporating the multiple temporal, multiple angles, multiple polarization, multiple information sources of Radar images with case-based reasoning, which can improve the resolution, would be a trend for wetland classification. 2) The measurement and calculation of wetland vegetation biomass with Radarsat Sar data are a new field. A conceptive model for wetland vegetation biomass calculation is given. 3) As one kind of the land covers, wetland landscape is changed with natural and man-made disturbance. Wetland landscape pattern analysis is important content in wetland change research. By using GIS software, wetland landscape spatial pattern indices can be calculated, such as area index, edge index, patch index, connectivity index, patch diversity index, etc. To establish a historic database would be a trend for wetland landscape pattern analysis. 4) GIS has strong function in managing and analyzing spatial data. To establish an expert information system based on GIS technology for wetland evaluation, conservation and optimization would be a trend in wetland research.
