Landscape Pattern Indices

Science and reporting information needs for monitoring dynamics in land cover over time have prompted research, and made operational, a wide variety of change detection methods utilizing multiple dates of remotely sensed data. Change detection procedures based upon spectral values are common; however, landscape pattern analysis approaches which utilize spatial information inherent within imagery present opportunities for the generation of unique and ecologically important information. While the use of two images may provide the means to identify change, the use of more than two images for long-term monitoring affords the ability to identify a greater range of processes of landscape change, including rates and dynamics. The main objective of this review is to investigate and summarize the methods and applications of land cover spatial pattern analysis using three or more image dates. The potential and the limitations of landscape pattern indices are identified and discussed to inform application recommendations. The second objective of this review is to make recommendations, including appropriate landscape pattern indices, for the application of landscape pattern analysis of a long time series of remotely sensed data to a case study involving the mountain pine beetle in British Columbia, Canada. The review concludes with recommendations for future research.

In this paper, based on RS and GIS technology and landscape pattern analysis, the changes of ecological landscape in the Poyang Lake Eco-economic Zone were analyzed from 1990 to 2005. Main results are as follows. There was a decreasing trend of wetland and forest from 1990 to 2005. The result of landscape pattern analysis showed that there was an increase in the degree of fragmentation of ecological landscape in the study area. The increased Perimeter-area fractal dimension indicated the shape of ecological landscape became more and more rules. Aggregation Index (AI) of lake increased from 86.0066 in 1990 to 86.123 in 2005, which showed that the overall aggregation degree of ecological landscape in the Poyang Lake Eco-economic Zone is in rise.

Landscape Patch

This article analyzes the general characteristics and its causes of the landscape pattern of land use, taking the Tuanjie town of DaoWai district in Harbin as an example. Using GIS and Fragstats software to calculate a series of landscape index, the data show that Tuanjie town is given priority to with agriculture landscape, and the landscape patch connectivity is stronger; the overall landscape patch shape is complex, showing the human activities interfere significantly; and each patch type concentration and fragmentation is quite different. Therefore, based on the use of their own advantages, put forward reasonable suggestions to the landscape optimization of Tuanjie town land use.
