Abstract

Based on the five-phase Landsat TM/ETM remote sensing image data, the remote sensing images were processed and the landscape pattern indices were calculated with the help of ENVI and FRAGSTATS software, respectively. Jian’ou city, a large agricultural city in northern Fujian Province, was used as a county-scale study case to explore its landscape pattern changes during the 20-year period from 1995 to 2015. The results show that the development intensity of Jian’ou city increased continuously from 1995 to 2010, the fragmentation of the landscape increased, the degree of aggregation decreased significantly, and the landscape structure became increasingly complex. After 2010, the landscape connectivity gradually became better, the degree of aggregation increased, and the landscape structure tended to be simpler.
