Study of Landscape Naturalness(WLN)in Caijiachuan Watershed
Based on a comprehensive review of previous researches on ecological disturbance degree
this study aimed at watershed-scale landscape pattern on the Loess Plateau in West Shanxi Province.Watershed landscape naturalness(WLN)
a new index
was introduced to describe landscape pattern characteristics
and its spatial expression on map and the methods of quantitative analysis were developed as well.Landscape of Caijiachuan watershed is composed of woodland and the patch mosaics of shrub-land
wasteland
and cropland.In the watershed
the middle part shows the highest degree of patch fragmentation
most significant heterogeneity
obvious edge-effects
and relatively even distribution of all types of patches.In the lower part
although patch fragmentation decreases
the area of natural landscape types is reduced and meanwhile the area of artificial landscape types increases.The slight edge-effects in the upper part of the watershed indicate favorable habitat and high biodiversity.From the upper to the lower part of the watershed
the ecological disturbance degree caused mainly by human activities increases and the WLN decreases gradually
while semi-natural landscape and man-made landscape show an increased trend.
