塔里木河流域土地利用监测适宜尺度选择方法

Optimal scale is one of the important issues in ecology and geography. Based on land-use data of the Tarim River Basin in Xinjiang of China in the 1950s, regarding the area of land use types as the parameter in scale selecting, the histograms of the patches in area are charted. Then, by reinforcing the normalized scale variances (NSV) with 3 landscape indices, the scale characteristics of land use in the Tarim River Basin can be summarized. (1) NSV in the Tarim River up to a maximum at scale of 1:50,000 which is considered appropriate for the Tarim River. (2) Diversity indices of saline land are consistent with NSV’s. Diversity indices and NSV of sandy land showed that the appropriate scale is in the same scale domain. There is a significant difference between diversity indices and NSV of forestland and shrubland. (3) Fractal dimension of sandy land and saline land showed a hierarchical structure at a scale of 1:10,000. Fractal dimension of forestland and shrubland are distributed under the same hierarchical structure in the region.

The End of Sustainability

It is time to move past the concept of sustainability. The realities of the Anthropocene warrant this conclusion. They include unprecedented and irreversible rates of human-induced biodiversity loss, exponential increases in per-capita resource consumption, and global climate change. These factors combine to create an increasing likelihood of rapid, nonlinear, social and ecological regime changes. The recent failure of the Rio + 20 provides an opportunity to collectively reexamine—and ultimately move past—the concept of sustainability as an environmental goal. We must face the impossibility of defining—let alone pursuing—a goal of “sustainability” in a world characterized by such extreme complexity, radical uncertainty and lack of stationarity. After briefly examining sustainability's failure, we propose resilience thinking as one possible new orientation and point to the challenges associated with translating resilience theory into policy application.     

三江平原浓江、别拉洪河地区湿地退缩过程及其成因

20世纪50年代以来,三江平原北部的浓江、别拉洪河地区进行了大面积的开荒,使湿地面积迅速减少,同时耕地面积迅速扩大,湿地环境遭到严重干扰和破坏。本文应用景观生态学的方法,在遥感和地理信息系统的支持下,通过分析1954、1967、1976、1986以及2000年的土地利用数据,揭示研究区50年来的土地开发和湿地退缩过程。着重进行1954年与2000年、1976年与1986年景观的对比研究。并在此基础上进行了湿地面积退缩的原因分析,指出1954年以来人类开发活动是该地区湿地面积退缩的主要原因。

云南哈尼梯田景观格局指数筛选研究（英文）

本文旨在筛选出一系列适合描述哈尼梯田景观格局的指数。我们从面积与边缘、形状、核心面积、隔离度/临近度、聚集度、多样性6个方面选取了47个景观指数,基于ArcGIS平台,将土地利用图矢量数据转化成栅格数据,栅格大小由30m×30m,以5m为间隔,增加至175m×175m,共计30幅土地利用图。运用SPSS软件,通过Pearson相关分析,47个景观格局指数分为21个小组,组内指数的两两相关性都在90%以上。每组选取代表性的指数,进行主成分分析,得出前5个主成分的方差变量能够占总方差变量的93%。选取旋转后各分量中具有最大相关性的5个景观结构指数来表达主成分的5个因子分别是分散指数(Splitting index[SPLIT]),斑块面积分布方差指数(Patch area distribution[AREA_CV]),香农多样性指数(Shannon’s diversity index[SHDI]),几何最近邻距离加权平均值指数(Euclidean nearest neighbor distance distribution[ENN_AM]),总核心面积指数(Total core area[TCA])。考虑到哈尼梯田的实际景观特征并结合前人的研究成果,我们增加平均分维数(Patch fractal dimension distribution[FRAC_MN])作为第6个指数。由于景观指数具有尺度效应,我们通过景观格局指数与尺度变化关系图,计算得出红河哈尼梯田景观格局指数的尺度域为40–45m之间。通过分维分析法,识别出哈尼梯田的特征格局在40–45m之间,即研究哈尼梯田的景观格局的最适宜栅格大小为40–45m之间。通过研究,我们认为以上6个景观指数能够反映哈尼梯田的景观格局特征,同时也可以运用这6个指数来描述类似哈尼梯田的景观格局。     

林火干扰下的大兴安岭呼中区景观动态分析

利用大兴安岭呼中区1979、1995年的1：50万森林分布图及1969～2001年林火数据对大兴安岭呼中区林火状况、各景观指数及火灾对景观变化的影响进行研究。结果表明：呼中区火灾轮回期823a，大大超过正常的火灾轮回期；从1979～1995年各植被类型的面积变化不是很大，其中野青茅草甸和樟子松林的面积均有所减少，兴安落叶松林和阔叶混交林的面积均有所增加；斑块数量除兴安落叶松林外均有所增加，其中阔叶混交林增加显著，这些植被类型在1979～1995年间产生较大的破碎化，兴安落叶松林的斑块数量则有所降低；形状指数除樟子松外均有较大的增加，斑块形状趋于复杂，兴安落叶松林在空间的连续性有所增加，局部的破碎化依然导致形状指数增大；聚集度增加，Simpson多样性指数有所降低；各类型的斑块在面积上均匀性降低。在呼中区，相对于自然状态下的火干扰而言，人为影响下的火干扰对景观格局变化影响的重要性显著降低。     

Perfection and complexity in the lower Brazos River

The “perfect landscape” concept is based on the notion that any specific geomorphic system represents the combined, interacting effects of a set of generally applicable global laws and a set of geographically and historically contingent local controls. Because the joint probability of any specific combination of local and global controls is low, and the local controls are inherently idiosyncratic, the probability of existence of any given landscape is vanishingly small. A perfect landscape approach to geomorphic complexity views landscapes as circumstantial, contingent outcomes of deterministic laws operating in a specific environmental and historical context. Thus, explaining evolution of complex landscapes requires the integration of global and local approaches. Because perfection in this sense is the most important and pervasive form of complexity, the study of geomorphic complexity is not restricted to nonlinear dynamics, self-organization, or any other aspects of complexity theory. Beyond what can be achieved via complexity theory, the details of historical and geographic contexts must be addressed. One way to approach this is via synoptic analyses, where the relevant global laws are applied in specific situational contexts. A study of non-acute tributary junctions in the lower Brazos River, Texas illustrates this strategy. The application of generalizations about tributary junction angles, and of relevant theories, does not explain the unexpectedly high occurrence or the specific instances of barbed or straight junctions in the study area. At least five different causes for the development of straight or obtuse junction angles are evident in the lower Brazos. The dominant mechanism, however, is associated with river bank erosion and lateral channel migration which encroaches on upstream-oriented reaches of meandering tributaries. Because the tributaries are generally strongly incised in response to Holocene incision of the Brazos, the junctions are not readily reoriented to the expected acute angle. The findings are interpreted in the context of nonlinear divergent evolution, geographical and historical contingency, synoptic frameworks for generalizing results, and applicability of the dominant processes concept in geomorphology.
