- Abstract:
-
The change of the eco-environment in arid continental river basin is related to human survival and development of the society. In order to discuss the eco-environment change in Khotan River basin during the period from 1990 to 2010, variation of forest and grassland area and ecological condition are analyzed based on Landsat-TM and CBERS images in 1990, 2000 and 2010, and combining with transition matrix and ecological index methods. It is revealed that:(1) amplitude of natural forest and grassland area declines significantly, while artificial forest increases rapidly during the period from 2000 to 2010; (2) the ecological index in 1990—2000 and 2000—2010 decreased by 0.1% and 1.19%, respectively; (3) the farmland expansion is the fundamental reason for natural forest and grassland area shrinking as well as the environment condition degradation.
