- Abstract:
-
With the utilization of RS/GIS techniques and mathematical statistics method, the forest pattern and its variation characteristics from 1992 to 2008 in Western Taiwan Straits Economic Zone were analyzed, and the influence of the environmental factors on forest pattern changes was discussed by canonical correspondence analysis. The results showed that the forest resources in Western Taiwan Straits Economic Zone was abundant, accounting for 61.40% of the total area, while the distribution was extremely uneven with a significant difference of area and elevation gradient. The forest area decreased from 893000km2 in 1992 to 883000km2 in 2008, the changes between area and elevation gradient were obvious, and the decrease trend in Midwest of Wuyi Mountain was comparatively significant. The main environmental factors affecting forest pattern changes were temperature, insolation duration, per-capita GDP and precipitation, while the effect of evaporation and population density was relatively insignificant.
