Land use and land cover change (LUCC) plays an important role in the evolution of the global environment and sustainable development. Land use is related to natural geography and human actions, and the factors during some period are mainly studied in LUCC. Most researches are concerned about rural area but few about urban fringe area. In this paper, land use change in the outskirtsis studied, taking...
Land use change plays vital roles in regional, social and economic development. Based on three phases of NDVI and climate images acquired in 1982, 1990 and 1998, and fuzzy rule-based classification, this paper took China as a case study to analyze spatial change of land use by combining NDVI, Landscape indices and transformation matrix. The research results indicate that land use has grown more and...
Taihu Lake basin is among the most developed regions in China, and changes in land use and land-cover change were distinct in last two decades. The rapid economic growth and lagged measures in pollution control have resulted in serious environmental problems in this region. Using Landsat satellite imagery of different periods (1985, 1995, 2000, and 2005), we achieved the land use data in Taihu Lake...
Human activities on land-use make the land-cover gradually change or transit. With the GIS/RS technique, the paper studies the ecosystem service values change in Qianjiang City which is begotten by land use change. The results shows that the ecosystem service values shows an upward trend, and the land use structure is more reasonable.
Responses of hydrologic process to human induced land use changes, which have affected a wide portion of China since last century, were evaluated with a coupled land surface-hydrology model. The main land use changes were assessed by the International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP) historic (1970) and potential land use types in the Huaihe River basin. The variations of flood...
