Landscape ecology of the region around Qinghai Lake,Qinghai Province of China based on romote sensing

A region surrounding Qinghai Lake was chosen as the study area and nine ecological landscape types that were recognized based on Landsat TM image classification of land cover/use types along with the ancillary data, and their ecological features and the measures dealing with the eco environmental problems are presented in this paper. The study has shown that using this approach the ecological landscape types in a region like the study area can be readily recognized and their ecological features can be rather accurately derived. Moreover, the deterioration in near all landscape ecological types in the area is quite serious. Therefore, effective and proper measures have to be taken in order to realize a sustainable development of the region.
