遥感技术在上海湿地研究和保护中的贡献

Contribution of Remote Sensing in Shanghai Wetlands Conservation and Research

湿地系指不问其为天然或人工、长久或暂时之沼泽地、泥炭地或水域地带,带有或静止或流动、或为淡水、半咸水或咸水水体者,包括低潮时水深不超过6米的水域。它对人类生存和人类社会的发展起着许多潜在的作用。本文通过利用遥感图像信息对崇明东滩湿地进行了分析研究,充分体现了遥感技术在湿地研究和保护中的明显特点与优势。

The so-called wetlands presently are different kinds of natural or artificial swamplands,turfaries or other water areas,whether permanent or temporary,containing some amount of current or immobile water,which may be fresh,salty or halfsalty,including water areas possessing a depth of water less than 6 meters at tide ebb.They have a considerable potential influence on the humanity life and social development.This article reports a study and an analysis of East Chongming wetlands of Shanghai by using graphic information taken from remote sensing,showing clearly the characteristics and superiority of remote sensing in wetlands conservation and research.
