Landsat ETM+在北方农牧交错带土壤沙化监测中的应用

北方农牧交错带是农业种植区与家畜放牧区相互交错的生态过渡地带,是多种生态系统的复合体.由于自然因素和人为因素的影响,农牧交错带土壤沙化问题日益严重,土壤沙化面积逐年扩大,关系到我国北部和中东部生态环境、经济发展和农牧区人民的生活质量等问题,亟需解决.近几年农牧交错带已经成为恢复生态学和全球气候变化研究的热点区域.针对土壤沙化的遥感监测是收集沙化土地现状及其动态变化的重要技术手段,可以为我国北方地区沙化的防治提供重要的实际数据.Landsat ETM+是研究区域尺度较为先进的多光谱遥感系统,应用十分广泛.主要阐述了Landsat ETM+系统特点以及在北方农牧交错带沙化监测中的应用,并且展望了这一系统将来的发展的景.

Application of Landsat ETM+ in monitoring of desertification in agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China

Agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China is a transitional and interlaced zone of agricultural cultivation region and grazing region The ecotone is a complex containing several ecosystems. Soil desertification has become a serious problem that endangered sustainable development in the ecotone. The area of desertification land has been increasing year after year in agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China. This problem concerns the ecological environment, economic development and living quality of people in northern and central eastern of China. For these reasons, ecotone has recently become a focus of research of restoration ecology and global climate change. Remote sensing monitoring of desertification land is a key technique to collect the status and development of sandy land, providing scientific bases for the national desertification control. Landsat ETM+ is an advanced multispectral remote sensing system for the research of regional scale and has been widely used in many fields, such as geologic surveys, mapping, vegetation monitoring, etc. In the present, the authors introduce that spectral characteristics, desertification information extraction, desertification classification and development analyses in detail, and summarizes the study progresses discusses the problems and trends.
