Title: Landscape Pattern Change of Land Use of Reclamation Area in Tarim Basin of Xinjiang in Recent 35 Years
Abstract: The paper extracted part of landscape indexes in five periods of 1976,1990,2000,2006 and 2010 of reclamation area in Tarim basin based on remote sensing images,by using professional remote sensing image processing software,ArcGIS and Fragstats 3.3 software,and analyzed the dynamics of landscape pattern of the studied area.The outcomes show that: a) the unused land area decreases greatly,the area of farmland and land for building has been increased,and woodland and grassland have been degenerated gradually;b) landscape diversity index and evenness index have been increased in the period of 1976~2006,showing that the proper disturbing of human can increase the heterogeneity of landscape and;c) in the period of 2006~2010,the landscape diversity index,evenness index and the heterogeneity of landscape have been decreased due to the continuous development of farmland.In the future land development and utilization,it should decrease land reclamation,strengthen the building of shelter-forest and artificial grassland and optimize the landscape pattern for achieving the sustainable utilization of land resources.
