人类土地利用干扰对黑河中游湿地时空变化的影响

干旱区湿地是典型的脆弱生态系统,湿地景观格局变化与人类的干扰活动密切相关。在RS和GIS技术支持下,基于1975-2016年长时间序列遥感影像,利用景观开发强度指数（LDI）和土地利用转移矩阵模型等分析方法,定量评估了人类土地利用干扰对黑河中游湿地时空变化的影响。结果表明：研究区湿地面积总体呈现下降趋势,但人工湿地总体呈增加趋势;湿地景观的异质性、破碎化程度增强,湿地斑块之间的聚集度下降;总体上研究区各类湿地的LDI指数呈上升趋势,湿地的人为干扰程度增强,2001年后湖泊湿地的人为干扰程度最强。在人为干扰下湿地多转化为林地、草地、居工矿用地及耕地。人为干扰对湿地的影响因湿地类型而异。因此,科学评价不同类型湿地的人为干扰状况,对不同类型湿地制定相应的保护策略具有重要意义。     

基于马尔科夫模型的新疆甘家湖湿地景观格局模拟与预测

以干旱、半干旱区生态脆弱的甘家湖湿地为研究对象,基于2000年和2008年第2期Land-sat TM/ETM为数据源,运用ARCGIS等地理信息系统分析软件,结合实地考察对研究区进行景观分类,确定转移概率矩阵,制作景观格局空间转移格局图,并将马尔科夫过程引入到湿地景观格局的预测和分析,对湿地各景观要素面积进行分析和动态预测。结果表明:①新疆甘家湖湿地功能正在逐步退化,表现于水域面积和沼泽地面积的减小,盐碱地面积不断扩大;②随着对湿地保护的加强,近些年来湿地环境有明显改善,基于马尔科夫模型的预测,在未来的近50年内,沙地面积趋于减少,由2008年的27.4%减少到2060的21.98%,草地面积趋于增加,由2008年的0.6%上升到2060年的1.33%,局部地区的湿地环境有所转好。     

兼顾景观功能的人工湿地植物配置模式探讨

湿地植物是人工湿地的重要组成部分,在水质净化过程中起着非常重要的作用,同时也是形成湿地景观的重要要素,目前人工湿地植物的配置还存在着功能结构单一、种间搭配不合理、季相效果差、岸带植物配置效果不佳等问题,影响植物的生态功能及景观效果。通过对湿地植物群落结构特征的研究,借鉴园林中植物造景,提出将植物净化功能与景观特性相结合的设计构想,并提出空间尺度与时间尺度相结合的植物配置模式及将人工湿地的水体与岸带植物配置相结合的人工湿地植物景观设计方式,这将有利于充分发挥人工湿地的多功能效益。     

我国湿地景观研究现状、存在的问题与发展方向

湿地景观研究是近十余年来新兴的热点领域,极大地推进了湿地学科发展.但是,由于湿地景观研究体现的是湿地与景观方法有机结合,其在发展过程中还存在许多问题.本文在对我国湿地景观研究现状系统分析基础上,重点阐明了湿地景观概念、分类、遥感信息提取精度、多源数据可比性、结构与格局研究方法、景观过程与功能研究内容与尺度等制约湿地景观研究的主要问题.并指出了未来发展方向:(1)重视湿地景观分类研究;(2)重视湿地景观破碎化研究;(3)重视发展基于过程和功能的景观格局研究方法;(4)重视多尺度湿地生物多样性研究;(5)重视湿地景观管理研究.     

湿地分类和湿地景观分类研究进展

湿地景观研究是近20多年来发展迅速的研究领域之一,极大地丰富和推进了湿地学的发展。湿地景观研究体现的是湿地学与景观方法的有机结合。湿地景观分类是通过建立等级分类系统,全面反映研究区湿地景观的空间分异和组织关联,揭示其空间结构与功能特征,是湿地景观研究的基础。首先,对湿地景观的概念进行剖析;然后,从湿地分类和湿地景观分类两方面,阐述国内外相关研究的进展和现状,并诠释两者之间的联系和区别;在此基础上,总结目前有关湿地景观分类研究存在的问题,提出未来湿地景观分类研究的重点和发展趋势。     

中国历史时期干旱区湿地及其人─地系统动力学的初步研究

本文用历史观点，初步探讨了我国干旱区湿地与人─地系统动力学机制。研究表明，虽然干旱区气候及其干暖化发展与湿地发生学相悖，但也不乏湿地分布．干旱区湿地一直处在衰退过程之中，其原因总的来说是区域性人—地系统动力学负效应综合作用的结果。     

中国历史时期干旱区湿地及其人——地系统动力学的初步研究

本文用历史观点，初步探讨了我国干旱区湿地与人－地系统动力学机制。研究表明，虽然干旱区气候及其干暖化发展与湿地发生学相悖，但也不乏湿地分布。干旱区湿地一直处在衰退过程之中，其原因总的来说是区域性人－地系统动力学负效应综合作用的结果。     

三江平原湿地景观生态制图分类系统研究

湿地景观生态制图分类系统的研究是景观制图的关键。以三江平原为研究区域,在研究湿地景观生态制图分类原则的基础上,系统地分析了引起该区域景观分异的主导因素,得出人文因素,水文因素,地貌和植被因素为其主志因素,从而建立了一套完整的景观生态制图分类系统,第一级按人类活动影响程度划分为：自然湿地景观,半自然湿地景观,人工湿地景观,第二级按地貌划分为：河漫滩,阶地,湖滨,洼地,谷地;第三级对沼泽湿地植被２５种     

湿地景观格局变化研究进展

湿地是自然界最富生物多样性的生态景观,具有重要的生态功能。湿地景观格局是各种生态过程综合作用的结果,具有高度的景观异质性,对景观的功能和过程有着显著的影响。湿地生态系统是世界上受威胁最为严重的生态系统之一,在自然因素和人类活动的影响下发生了大面积的转化或丧失。本文从湿地景观格局研究方法、面积变化、景观类型转化、驱动力以及动态模型、湿地景观格局指数以及湿地景观格局与气候变化之间的关系等方面综述了湿地景观格局变化的研究进展,指出湿地景观格局变化及其生态效应和高原湿地景观格局变化与气候变化之间的关系是未来研究的重点领域。     

湿地景观变化对水禽生境影响研究进展

湿地是自然界重要的生态系统和景观类型,具有巨大的资源潜力和环境功能,是水禽赖以生存的重要繁殖地和越冬地。几十年来,由于人类活动影响造成的湿地景观巨大变化,不仅改变了湿地景观原有的功能,而且在景观或区域水平对水禽的生存环境产生重要影响。湿地景观变化主要在湿地大面积丧失、湿地景观异质性变化和湿地景观破碎化等方面对水禽需求的生境类型和生境要素产生重要影响。我们从湿地景观变化的特征出发,概述了国内外湿地景观变化对水禽生境的影响。发现该方面的研究在研究思路方面发生了方向性的变化。随着对水禽保护的重视,研究和保护战略从过去的研究和保护物种途径转到保护物种所生存的生态系统和景观——即水禽生境的研究和保护受到高度重视;另一方面的变化是研究方法的进步。主要表现为结合野外调查,利用遥感和GIS技术研究水禽生境时空变化及其对水禽种类和种群数量的影响。最后应用累积效应的原理和方法,对深入研究的科学问题进行了展望,提出一些需要深入探讨的问题。

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.
