MSDI and MSEI proved the patch of different land use
scattered quite evenly. The SHEI increased steadily, which
indicated that the reservoir construction caused kinds of more
even landscape in the region. The indices drew from the table
did not fluctuate significantly proved that the regional landscape
structure and diversity were not changed essentially.
4. CONCLUSIONS
The result indicates that the quality of regional ecosystem has
been deteriorating since thel970s. What’s more, the land use
transformation demonstrates that the grassland has turned out to
be water area and unused land. This research demonstrates that
regional landscape structure and landscape patch fragmentation
are evidently influenced by cascade hydropower exploitation.
The continuing cascade hydropower (station) development does
impact functions and the stability of regional ecosystem in the
upper Yellow River. The remote sensing imagery information
by Landsat series has been proved to be an effective means to
manage and monitor the regional environment.
