大理市土地利用变化及其驱动力分析

利用大理市1995年和2000年两期TM影像解译土地利用数据,在GIS分析工具支持下,对土地利用变化和驱动因素进行分析,得出以下结论：（1）1995年到2000年这5年期间,土地利用变化总体呈现出林地和草地减少、耕地和建筑用地增加的趋势,水域面积变化不明显;（2）土地利用年变化率为0．5％,其中以建设用地面积的年变化率最大为5．84％,耕地和林地的年变化率分别为1．85％和-1．41％,而草地和水域年变化率较小,分别为-0．7％和0．01％;（3）土地利用类型转化主要呈现出林地和草地转化为耕地,耕地和草地转化为建筑用地,林地和草地相互转化的特点;（4）土地利用结构变化不明显,总体上表现出林地占优势,耕地、草地、水域相当的结构特征;（5）自然条件对土地利用结构具有重要的控制作用,而人口增长,政府行为决策和经济的发展直接影响土地利用的变化。     

基于遥感数据的泉州市土地利用变化分析

本文基于TM遥感图像解译的1985、2000年两期土地利用现状图，借助ArcView3．2软件，统计分析了泉州市1985～2000年间土地利用类型的数量及空间变化特征。结果表明：15年来各类土地利用类型发生了很大变化，综合年均变化率为0．09％；而且类型转化量最大的是耕地转变为城乡、工矿及居民用地，其次是林地与草地类型之间的转化。     

基于遥感与GIS的乌审旗土地利用变化研究

在遥感与GIS技术支持下,以乌审旗1986-2005年5期TM影像为主要数据源,运用土地利用动态度和土地利用转移矩阵对土地利用的数量变化进行了研究.运用定量与定性相结合的景观空间格局分析方法,对土地利用景观格局特征的动态变化进行了分析,并利用社会经济数据对土地利用变化的人为驱动力进行了分析.研究表明:(1)20年间各土地利用类型经历着"涨势"与"落势"的波动.从各土地利用类型的转化方向来看.林地、草地和沙地相互转换频繁;耕地主要转变为林地、草地和沙地;水域主要向其他未利用地转换,其他未利用地主要向草地和沙地转换,工矿用地没有转出.从2005年各土地利用类型的转化来源看,耕地主要是由林地、沙地和草地转变而来;林地主要由沙地和草地转变而来;草地主要是由沙地和林地转变而来;水域主要是由沙地和耕地转变而来;居民地主要是由沙地、草地和林地转变而来;其他未利用地主要是由草地、水域和林地转变而来.(2)土地利用景观格局演变特征表现为:除居民点外各类景观斑块形状指数都呈增加趋势;除水域外,各类景观斑块密度下降、分离度减少;全旗景观优势度下降、多样性升高.(3)人为因素中的人口增长、经济发展以及生态工程的实施对土地利用变化起重要作用.     

云南山地坝区土地利用变化及其驱动分析——以保山坝子为例

利用GIS空间分析工具,分析了保山坝区1980、1995、2000年3期土地利用变化及其驱动因素,得出以下结论：（1）从1980—1995～2000年土地利用变化速度明显加快。1980—1995年综合土地动态度年变率仅为0．17％,1995—2000年则增加到了0．75％。（2）总体来看,林地和水田呈现减少的趋势,旱地和建设用她呈现增加的趋势,尤其是1995～2000年时段。（3）土地利用类型转化的主要特征是坝子内水田转化为建设用地,林地、草地、旱地相互转化频繁。（4）坝区地形对土地利用格局具有基础作用。人口因素、经济因素和政策行为对土地利用变化起主导作用。受坝区空间局限性控制,人口、经济等人文因素对土地利用产生了巨大压力。     

川西北高原若尔盖草地沙化及湿地萎缩动态遥感监测

应用卫星遥感资料(MSS、TM及spot)对川西北高原若尔盖草地沙化及湿地萎缩的动态监测发现，自1966年至2000年的34年间，草地沙化面积增加307．7％，达到36760．9hm^2，占区域总面积的7．25％，平均每年扩大草地沙化面积816．0hm^2，年均递增率达4．22％。到2000年止，区域内有沙地5083．9hm^2，沙化草地31677．0hm^2。自1985～2000年的15a间，区内17个湖泊面积缩小842．0hm^2，减幅达38．9％，平均每年减少56．1hm^2，年均递减速度达3．34％，该区目前其余11个湖泊总面积仅为1323．1hm^2，只有15年前的61．1％。     

基于遥感和GIS的松嫩沙地土地利用/土地覆被时空格局研究

利用1986年和2000年2期TM影像资料,建立相应的空间图形库系统,定量分析了松嫩沙地典型区近15a来土地利用数量变化,从土地利用斑块特征、斑块空间邻接关系变化和主导变化类型角度对土地利用/覆被格局进行了清晰的空间描述。结果表明,研究时段内该区土地利用量变和质变活跃。耕地面状成片、条带状延伸和斑块状空间扩展,从整体上呈现集中化特征。较大面积的草地和林地被分割、破碎化,小块盐碱化草地空间聚集与扩张。耕地与草地、草地与盐碱地空间相邻度变大,草地开垦强度增大、土地盐碱化日益严重。空间变化上表现为耕地、林地、草地和未利用地之间相互转化,以草地、林地-旱地,草地-未利用地,未利用地-旱地、水田及旱地-水田最为显著。     

基于遥感和GIS的成都市土地利用动态变化研究

利用地理信息系统技术,在空间数据库平台的支持下,对成都市20世纪90年代中期到2000年间的土地利用动态变化进行了研究.分析表明,在1995-2000年间,耕地与建设居民用地、耕地与林地、林地与草地以及水体与耕地等之间的转换强度较高.耕地减少10972hm2,林地减少2220hm2,草地增加8042hm2,建设居民用地增加4830hm2,水体增加323hm2.减少耕地的主要去向是建设居民用地、草地和林地;减少林地的主要去向是草地.人口总数,第三产业从业人口,工业国内生产总值,第二、三产业的国内生产总值与建设居民用地同步增加;第一产业从业人员与耕地同步减少.     

基于遥感与GIS的江河源区土地利用动态变化研究

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.
