甘肃金水湖国家湿地公园景观自然性的时空异质性

景观自然性体现了各景观要素的时空分布格局,对提高生态系统的整体性和稳定性有重要意义.通过解译2003年、2009年和2015年3个时相的遥感影像,利用GIS和层次分析法,研究了甘肃金川金水湖国家湿地公园景观自然性变化规律.结果表明:随着时间的变化,景观结构中景观多样性指数、均匀度指数、斑块丰富度呈增加趋势,景观优势度、景观分离度呈减小趋势;提供栖息地、植物群落维持功能、面积加权平均斑块分维数、植被覆盖度等生态功能指标呈增大趋势;人工干扰指数、人工景观平均面积等生态学干扰指标呈减小趋势,湿地公园的景观自然性指数由2003年的0.4761增加至2015年的0.7485.湿地公园保育和恢复工程的实施改变了土地覆被结构,增强了生态系统的稳定性、生态弹性和服务价值,较大程度上提高了金水湖国家湿地公园的景观自然性.
