Abstract: Farmland consolidation is the act of regulating,improving,and comprehensively renovating the structure,quality,and layout of field,water,road,forestry,and village in the countryside in a certain area by means of administration,economy,law,and engineering techniques according to the goal and usage defined by land use planning,so as to improve farmland use rate and its output rate,to increase farmland area,and to achieve better productive,living,and ecological environment.Recently,farmland consolidation has been carried out all over the country,especially in its economy-developed regions.But,unscientific planning and unsuitable farmland consolidation engineering have negative effects on field ecological system.In this paper,based on the technology of GIS and RS,the basic theories and methods of landscape ecology and a compositive grading method were applied to analysis the dynamics of farmland landscape fragmentation in Tongxiang county.The results showed that the farmland landscape fragmentation in this county was strongly affected by consolidation.More attention should be paid to the protection of farmland landscape during consolidation,and to avoid or decrease the negative effects resulted from unscientific planning and unsuitable farmland consolidation engineering.
