嘉陵江流域植被景观的空间格局特征

在遥感影像基础上利用景观指数从斑块特征、景观异质性、多样性与均匀性以及空间相互关系4个方面比较和分析了嘉陵江流域植被景观的空间格局特征。结果表明：“一年一熟作物田及耐寒经济作物田、落叶果树园” 在流域中的分布面积最大,是整个流域的基质,其它景观要素镶嵌其中。“亚热带常绿、落叶阔叶混交林”分布面积最小,分化程度最弱,异质性最低。 “裸地/城镇”的斑块间距最大,相似性程度低,聚合性弱,异质性最高。 “温带落叶阔叶林”的斑块间隔小,分布紧密,相似性程度高,聚合性强,但自然连接性较低。整个植被景观体现出要素众多、间隔紧密、自然连接性好、景观破碎化程度较高的分布特征,同时也反映出类型丰富、比例协调、均匀性和多样性程度较高的总体特点。

鄱阳湖湿地植被退化原因分析及其预警

2003年以来,鄱阳湖长期处于低枯水位状态,湖盆植被面积减少600km2;洲滩土壤含水量降低,旱生植物物种入侵,占据高程15m以上洲滩,湿地植被演变成中生性草甸,使物种大幅度增加;湿生和水生植物向湖中心下移,生长空间缩减;对水深、污染物敏感的植物群落的物种、生物量减少,生物多样性退化;对水深适应性强和耐污染的植物迅速扩张。无序采砂、防火烧荒、牲畜放牧加剧了这一局面。在气候变化和人类活动影响下,鄱阳湖湿地植被正在逐步退化。为了遏制这一退化现象,正在建立鄱阳湖健康评价体系与标准,加强植物群落固定断面和针对稀有物种、对水深和污染物敏感物种、危害湖泊健康物种进行专项监测,针对发现的问题,用遥感影像辨识、实地勘测研究分析全湖变化状况,判断其危害程度,提出防治对策,向相关部门和地区提出预警建议。     

长三角地区植被退化的空间格局及影响因素分析

植被退化是陆地生态系统功能下降的重要表征。利用2000~2010年SPOT-VEGETATION NDVI遥感数据、土地利用数据,采用趋势分析、叠加分析和格网计算方法,对长三角植被退化的空间格局及其影响因素进行分析。结果表明:10a间长三角地区最大化NDVI均值空间分布南北高、中间低,区域14%的植被覆盖面积显著退化。植被退化呈现一定的空间分异,而人类活动是导致植被退化的主要原因。在长江以南、太湖的北部与东部,环杭州湾地区及南京、南通和台州等城市快速无序的城镇化,造成了建设用地面积增加和耕地的破碎化,使植被退化区域集中连片分布。经济利益驱动农民将水田转化为向水产养殖,引起植被退化。部分区域植被面积未减少而呈退化态势的原因有待研究。

基于MMF模型估算植被与降雨变化对水沙的影响——以延河流域为例

为研究近年来植被对黄河各支流来水来沙锐减的贡献,选择植被变化极为显著的延河流域为研究区域,定量化估算植被的减水减沙效益。论文利用Landsat系列遥感影像数据,以及流域的气象水文资料,基于Morgan-Duzant版Morgan-Morgan-Finney(MMF)模型估算流域的径流量与输沙量,分析各植被因子与径流量、输沙量的相关性,并利用相邻时期的植被降雨数据进行情景模拟,以此估算植被与降雨对流域水沙的影响。结果表明:1MMF模型能较好地模拟流域年径流量,输沙量次之;2植被因子与径流量、输沙量空间分布格局上相关性不明显,径流量与间接植被因子(截留率、林下降雨侵蚀力和坡面沉积率)相关性较高,而输沙量与植被覆盖度相关性较高;3植被与降雨的情景模拟表明2000、2006年的植被较前一相邻时期有所改善,使得径流量分别较前期减少45.88%、25.74%,输沙量减少12.10%、27.57%。

A Spatially Explicit Model for Mapping Headwater Streams

Headwater streams are the primary sources of water in a drainage network and serve as a critical hydrologic link between the surrounding landscape and larger, downstream surface waters. Many states, including North Carolina, regulate activity in and near headwater streams for the protection of water quality and aquatic resources. A fundamental tool for regulatory management is an accurate representation of streams on a map. Limited resources preclude field mapping every headwater stream and its origin across a large region. It is more practical to develop a model for headwater streams based on a sample of field data that can then be extrapolated to a larger area of interest. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality has developed a cost‐effective method for modeling and mapping the location, length, and flow classification (intermittent and perennial) of headwater streams. We used a multiple logistic regression approach that combined field data and terrain derivatives for watersheds located in the Triassic Basins ecoregion. Field data were collected using a standard methodology for identifying headwater streams and origins. Terrain derivatives were generated from digital elevation models interpolated from bare‐earth Light Detection and Range data. Model accuracies greater than 80% were achieved in classifying stream presence and absence, stream length and perennial stream length, but were not as consistent in predicting intermittent stream length.     

Guidelines for Riparian Vegetative Shade Restoration Based Upon a Theoretical Shaded‐Stream Model1

Abstract: Guidelines for riparian vegetative shade restoration were developed using a theoretical model of total daily radiation received by a shaded stream. The model assumed stream shading by nontransmitting, vertical or overhanging, solid vegetation planes in infinitely long reaches. Radiation components considered in the model were direct beam shortwave on the stream centerline, diffuse atmospheric shortwave, shortwave reflected by vegetation, atmospheric longwave, and longwave emitted by vegetation. Potential or extraterrestrial shortwave irradiation theory was used to compute beam shortwave radiation received at the stream centerline, and view factor theory was used to compute diffuse radiation exchange among stream, vegetation, and atmospheric planes. Model shade effects under clear skies were dominated by reductions in receipt of direct beam shortwave radiation. Model shade effects with cloudy skies were dominated by the “view factor effect” or the decreases in diffuse shortwave and longwave radiation from the atmosphere balanced against increases in longwave radiation from vegetation. Model shade effects on shortwave radiation reflected by vegetation were found to be negligible. The model was used to determine the vegetation height (H) to stream width (W) ratios needed to achieve 50, 75, and 90 % shade restoration for mid‐latitude conditions on clear and cloudy days. Ratios of vegetation height to stream width, for dense nontransmitting vegetation, generally ranged from 1.4 to 2.3 for 75% shade restoration at a mid‐latitude site (40°N). The model was used to show H/W needed for E‐W vs. N‐S stream azimuths, varying stream latitudes between 30° and 50°N, channels with overhanging vegetation, channels undergoing width changes, as well as the limits to shade restoration on very wide channels.
