Assessment of degraded mattoral land using remote sensing im-agery in Guadalteba Area,Spain

应用遥感图片对西班牙Guadal teba地区灌木土地退化的评估(英文)

Natural land cover information is important for analysing and understanding of the current terrestrial situation, especially in the study area that is facing the environmental deteriorating increasingly. The study combined the remote sensing Aster data and ground truth to improve 2001 land cover map of Guadalteba area in Spain, and increased the accuracy from 47% to 70%. The general land cover map produced about the Guadalteba study area outlines the distribution of the vegetation type and the current natural land cover in the area. Based on this improved general land cover map, the natural cover map gave an indication of the present location of nature and agriculture areas. The shrub land degradation map identified location of various shrub/matorral areas and different levels of degradation. The further analysis and discussion were done. The output maps indicated that much of the natural cover mostly dominated by formations of shrubs has been changed to agriculture and other land uses. It is observed that shrubland covers a small percentage, approximately 9% of the study area, due to land degradation in most parts caused by human interfere.

自然(资源)土地覆盖信息对分析和理解当前的陆地形式,尤其是对面临着环境日益恶化的研究区起着重要的作用。本研究综合应用Aster遥感数据和现地实际情况,完善西班牙Guadalteba地区2001年的土地覆盖图,将精度从47%提高到70%。综合土地覆盖图反映了该地区的植物类型分布和目前的自然(资源)土地覆盖状况。基于该图,自然(资源)土地覆盖图显示了自然(资源)和农业用地的当前分布,灌木土地退化图表明了各种灌木区的分布位置及其退化的不同等级,并作了进一步分析和讨论。最终的成果图揭示,Guadalteba地区许多以灌木分布为主导形式的土地已经被改用为农业和其他用途用地。由于人类活动的干扰而导致该地区大部分土地退化,使灌木覆盖仅占约9%的土地面积。图4表3参8。
