Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was explored the variation of landscape process and its impact on the possibility of ecological corridors on Pingtung Linhousilin Forest Park. Developing the landscape change process in year 2002, 2005, 2012 and 2014 via the land-use definition of IPCC (forest land, cropland, grassland, wetlands, settlements and other land). In the landscape structure analysis, the cropland was gradually changed to forest land in this area. Moreover, the variation of gravity model showed that the interaction between Linhousilin Forest Park and low elevation mountains were gradually increased which means the function of ecological corridors has increased.

Highlights

  • The environment are affecting by population increasing, human activity, economy development, which lead to deteriorate on global ecosystem, and habitats quality even the structure, function and diversity on global ecosystem

  • This study developed the land cover layer of the Linhousilin forest park and in the vicinity of the park that the land use type concluded grassland, cropland, forest land, wetland, settlement and six other land use categories which defined by the IPCC

  • Cropland and forest land are the largest area in land use type in the Linhousilin forest park and in the vicinity of the park; the area of grasslands and croplands is decreased in each period, the area of forest lands is increased significantly

Summary

Introduction

The environment are affecting by population increasing, human activity, economy development, which lead to deteriorate on global ecosystem, and habitats quality even the structure, function and diversity on global ecosystem. The theory of landscape ecological must be a considering factor whether the land use planning or biodiversity conservation (Hobbs, 1997; Forman and Godron, 1986). It is directivity on ecosystem changing, the way understands nature ecosystem changing mechanism through monitoring time series of landscape alteration (Antrop, 1998). The ecosystem evolution and environmental habitat were formed by the landscape changing by years; so that, this study were concentrate on impact of landscape structure variety for species diversity, the variation of landscape process and its impact on the possibility of ecological corridors on Linhousilin and nearby mountain area
