Spatial-temporal changes of Taishan Mountains scenery area landscape patterns

Abstract

Abstract: By adopting the Landsat images of 1986 and 2001,and through field investigation,this paper studied the characteristics and genesis of the spatial-temporal changes of Taishan Mountains scenery area landscape patterns in Shandong Province of East China since mid-80 s of last century,and approached the effects of anthropogenic disturbances on them.The results showed that the anthropogenic disturbances at that time were the main reasons of inducing the significant changes of landscape patterns,and the large-scale pure forest reconstruction and scenery area construction in late 80s of last century made the forest vegetation patches more fragmented and the superiority of landscape types decreased.The results also showed that the area of Pinus forest significantly decreased,mainly due to its conversion to Quercus and mixed forests.The increase of landscape patches intensified the fragmentation of certain landscape patterns,and in particular,the increase of bare substrate on steep slopes could potentially damage the health of mountain ecosystem.

Key words: Landscape pattern, Landscape change, Taishan Mountains, Anthropogenic disturbances
