AN ILLUSTRATIVE STUDY ON LOCAL LANDSCAPEAND ITS LONG-TERM CHANGES BASED ON IKONOS AND HISTORICAL AERIAL PHOTO

Nowadays, the research works on landscape at fine scales using high-resolution images are uncommon.This research is based on the analysis of the combination of remote sensing data (1KONOS imagery acquired in 2002 and historical aerial photo taken in 1942). In the paper, the ecotopes in Qiujiadou and Xishao villages in Yixing City of Jiangsu Province in 1942 and 2002 were compared and landscape changes as well as the causes of the considerable changes were analyzed. It was found that the ecotope changes were at greater level in some aspects such as water surface and perennial vegetation coverage etc. This study at fine scale is globally significant for the rural areas, especially for the subsistence agricultural land, which occupies larger percentage in the earth. And it analyzes the structure of landscape based on a new landscape classification system--stratifications method.     

玛多黄河源区生态环境治理:任重道远

黄河,发源于青藏高原巴颜喀拉山北麓。玛多县境是黄河源区的主要片区,这里因处于三江源区青藏高原腹地及其特殊的地理位置和高寒多风干旱的气候,生态环境十分脆弱。近20年来,由于大气环境的逐渐变暖和人类活动的加剧如草原开发和过牧等因素,玛多县境内黄河河段、湖泊、湿地及草     

浅析规划设计农田防护工程在土地整理复垦中应注意的问题

为更好地发展省土地整理复垦工作，现就在以往规划设计中存在的对农田防护工程的规划原则和目标不够明确的问题进行分析，希望在今后的工作实践中得以参考。     

APPLICATION OF ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS TO ASSESSING THE ECOLOGICAL VULNERABILITY OF WETLANDS IN THE JIANGHAN PLAIN

Wetlands in the Jianghan Plain are important components of wetland types in lake area in the middle and lower reaches the Changjiang (Yangtze) River and they fulfill many uses and functions related to hydrology,waste assimilation, ecosystem productivity and biodiversity. Owing to natural factors and human activities, especially excessive reclamation from lakes, the shrinking process of the lakes has been accelerated. Wetland ecosystem has shown the characteristics of vulnerability. According to the analysis of wetland ecological function in the Jianghan Plain, this paper presented an index system related to productivity, stability and environmental capacity. By using the method of Analytic Hierarchy Process, we computed the values of the relative weights of the indexes, and evaluated the vulnerability level of the wetland ecosystem by the method of multi-indexes. The case study showed that the fragile extent of wetland ecosystem in the Jianghan Plain is 5.6. This means that the wetland ecosystem in the Jiang-han Plain is laid to the state of middle vulnerability. Therefore, the wetland conservation and eco-rehabilitation in the JiangJaan Plain should be paid attention to.     

绿化黄河工程土地资源促进沿黄生态环境建设

1998年以来，国家加大对防洪工程建设投入的同时，也对工程环境保护和建设提出了更高的要求，防洪工程绿化建设已纳入了全国生态环境建设和城市总体规划，是生态建设和经济可持续发展的战略布置。它不仅可保持工程的完整，提高工程的防护性能，为抢险提供丰富的物料，而且绿化黄河沿岸，对改善生态环境，美化黄河景点，建立沿黄景观带，发展旅游观光业具有非常现实而且深远的意义，同时也是将黄河堤防建设成为防洪保安线、抢险交通线、生态景观线的重大举措。     

实行生态移民改善生态环境--关于整合扶贫与生态整治的战略思考

经过几十年，特别是20世纪90年代扶贫攻坚计划实施，我国扶贫工作取得了巨大成就，但目前我国还有约3000万贫困人口，这些人口主要聚集在生态环境恶劣地区。事实上，以往正是由于这些地区人口活动造成毁林开荒，过度垦牧，严重恶化了生态环境。目前，我国已成为世界上水土流失最严重的国家之一，水土流失面积已达367万平方公里，约占国土面积的38％，并以每年1万平方公里的速度在增加。西北黄土高原是我国水土流失最严重的地区，长江流域也面对巨大的生态隐患。我国还是世界上沙漠化危害严重的国家之一。     

规范耕地的自由流转是保护耕地质量的有效途径

中国经济的飞速发展，带来了城市化进程的加快，与此相对的是中国人口总量以每年1000多万人的速度激增，人地矛盾日益突出，同时大面积的生态退耕也给耕地面积扩大带来更多的压力，耕地面积的持续缩小将成为不可逆转的趋势。因此，耕地总量动态平衡很大程度上依赖于耕地质量的提高，至少要维持现有耕地质量不能下降。
