Detecting forest landcape boundary between Mountain Birch and evergreen eoniferous forest in the northern slope of Changbai Mountain

Boundaries between different forest types in Changbai Mountain Eatern China are results from complex interactions between forest ecosystems,topogrphy,and geomorphology.Detecting and quantifying the transitional zones are highly important since high environmental beterogeneity and biodiversity are ofter found within these zpmes.In this study,we used GIS and multivariate statistics techniques(PCA and MSWA) to analyze data from Landsat TM satellite imageries and quantitatively determined the positions and widths of the landscape boundary betweeen mountain birch and evergreen coniferous forests in the northern slope of Changbai Mountain.The results showed that the widths of the landscape boundary ranges from 30-50 m while using the MWW A or/and PC method.Such detected widths are consistent with field transect data that suggest a 50m tranistional zone width.The results further suggest that TM data can be used in combination with GIS and statistical techniques in determining forest landscape boundaries.MSWA is more reliable than PCA,while PCA can also be used to determine the landscape boundary when transects are properly located.

大兴安岭地区雷击火分析与防治

1 雷击火已成为引发我区森林火灾的主要原因之一 大兴安岭地区地处高纬，受气候和地形的影响，每年4～7月都有雷击闪电发生。来自极地大陆性冷气团或变形的冷气团。通过大兴安岭林区易产生雷暴天气，引发雷击火出现。实践证明，大兴安岭林区是雷击多发区，雷击火已引发多起重特大森林火灾。内蒙大兴安岭地区的雷击火占该区总火源的18％，最多年份可达38％。喜桂图旗、鄂伦春旗和额尔古纳左旗等地的雷击火，在有的年份可占这些地区总火灾的76％。
