Spatial-temporal Dynamic Analysis of Landscape Ecological Security of Chishui River Basin in Guizhou Province, China

Abstract

Using the technologies of GIS and RS for the perspective of landscape ecology, the characteristics of landscape ecological security changes of Chishui River Basin in Guizhou Province from 1995 to 2015 were analyzed. The results showed that: (1) In the past 20 years, the utilized land types in the study area were changed greatly. The disturbance of human factors on utilized land change was serious. The area of construction land was increased rapidly, the area of forest land was decreased, while the cultivated land increased first and then decreased. (2) In the past 20 years, the landscape fragmentation index and landscape separation index of other utilized land types were increased except the construction land. The fractal dimension indices of other landscape types were increased, but the change was not obvious. With the continuous development of economy and society, the disturbance of human activities to various landscape types was increased. (3) From the point of view of temporal and spatial changes of landscape ecological security, the overall situation of landscape ecological security in the study area was better, and the area with high ecological security was increased in the past 20 years. Less than 10% of the area was in low ecological security, but the overall trend was increasing, and the problem of ecological security was serious. (4) In the past 20 years, the spatial aggregation of towns with similar landscape ecological security in the study area decreased first and then increased, and the spatial aggregation types were low to low and high to high .
