With the construction of the Three Gorges Project, the type of land use/land cover in Three Gorges Reservoir Region changed much, at the same time, the environment of the same region changed greatly, too. There is some relationship between the land use/land cover changes and environment changes, which is the reason of the paper. Firstly, the analysis of the TM remote sensing images in 1995 and 2008...
Cellular Automata (CA) are dynamic mathematical systems (which are discrete in time and space, operate in uniform regular lattice, and are characterized by local interaction) that can be used with GIS to simulate land use change. Common cellular automata calibration is based on linear logistic regression. Linear models, however, are susceptible to over-fitting; especially when applied to nonlinearly...
This paper presents the methods of dynamic monitoring and prediction model of land use change and their application in Changsha county. Firstly, with the support of remote sense and geographic information system, the land use of Changsha county was categorized into five types. Then growth degree index was introduced to analyze the dynamic evolution process of land use change. Markov model was used...
Xishuangbanna, located in southwest China neighboring Laos and Myanmar, is a biologically diverse region that covers only 0.2% of the land area of China, yet contains 25% of all plant species in the entire country. Over the last decades, forest cover in this area has decreased dramatically from 63% to 34%. Previously, cleared lands have been largely converted into rubber plantations. The valleys have...
