Dynamic evolution study of wetland landscape pattern in Wuhan urban based on TM images

Based on analysis of the terrain maps, remote sensing images, statistic data of wetland of Wuhan urban from 1985 to 2005, and with the technology of Remote Sensing (abbr. RS) and Geographic Information System (abbr. GIS), the wetland landscape spatial database and attribute database of Wuhan urban are set up using ARCGIS software of the year of 1985, 1995 and 2005.At the same time, according to fractal geometry and landscape ecological methodology and the theories, we can quantitatively analyze the form characters, evolution rules, and change factors of the wetland landscape pattern of Wuhan urban by calculating its diversity index, dominance index, equality index, fragmentation index, isolation index and fractal dimension, and so on. As a result, the wetland's form characters and evolution process of Wuhan urban are compared and analyzed; its time-spatial evolution character during the past 20 years is demonstrated. In the end, some advice will be given that human beings should adjust land-use structure in lake districts, reasonably develop, recover and reconstruct positive eco-environment, and promote its sustainable development in Wuhan urban according to its ecological environment characteristics.
