Study on the Change of Landscape and Hydrology by Ecological Metrics and Canonical Correlation
景观与水文变迁之生态指标及典型相关性研究

Due to the poor condition of soil and micro-climate condition, the mudstone area in the South-Western Taiwan was hard to plant and then always in bare condition which got a nickname of Moon World. In the respect of ecosystem, ecological index in different periods were calculated based upon ecological theory. To explain its meanings, and the landscape danger behind the bare mudstone area. The results indicated that, mosaic gathering was caused by mudstone and thorn bamboo. Mosaic is fracture and high edge. The results illustrated that the landscape ecological factor such as patch shape factor, and Shannon evenness factor that have significant canonical correlation with water qualities and erosion of the study area.Therefore, energy and material flow in mosaic are faster which will cause soil and water resources loss. In study area, there are many styles of fracture, variation, and mosaic distribution landscape.
