Analyzing fine-scale wetland composition using high resolution imagery and texture features     

《International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation》2013

In order to monitor natural and anthropogenic disturbance effects to wetland ecosystems, it is necessary to employ both accurate and rapid mapping of wet graminoid/sedge communities. Thus, it is desirable to utilize automated classification algorithms so that the monitoring can be done regularly and in an efficient manner. This study developed a classification and accuracy assessment method for wetland mapping of at-risk plant communities in marl prairie and marsh areas of the Everglades National Park. Maximum likelihood (ML) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers were tested using 30.5 cm aerial imagery, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), first and second order texture features and ancillary data. Additionally, appropriate window sizes for different texture features were estimated using semivariogram analysis. Findings show that the addition of NDVI and texture features increased classification accuracy from 66.2% using the ML classifier (spectral bands only) to 83.71% using the SVM classifier (spectral bands, NDVI and first order texture features).  相似文献   

Impact of climate change on wetland ecosystems: A critical review of experimental wetlands     

Shokoufeh Salimi  Suhad A.A.A.N. Almuktar  Miklas Scholz 《Chemie der Erde / Geochemistry》2013

Climate change is identified as a major threat to wetlands. Altered hydrology and rising temperature can change the biogeochemistry and function of a wetland to the degree that some important services might be turned into disservices. This means that they will, for example, no longer provide a water purification service and adversely they may start to decompose and release nutrients to the surface water. Moreover, a higher rate of decomposition than primary production (photosynthesis) may lead to a shift of their function from being a sink of carbon to a source. This review paper assesses the potential response of natural wetlands (peatlands) and constructed wetlands to climate change in terms of gas emission and nutrients release. In addition, the impact of key climatic factors such as temperature and water availability on wetlands has been reviewed. The authors identified the methodological gaps and weaknesses in the literature and then introduced a new framework for conducting a comprehensive mesocosm experiment to address the existing gaps in literature to support future climate change research on wetland ecosystems. In the future, higher temperatures resulting in drought might shift the role of both constructed wetland and peatland from a sink to a source of carbon. However, higher temperatures accompanied by more precipitation can promote photosynthesis to a degree that might exceed the respiration and maintain the carbon sink role of the wetland. There might be a critical water level at which the wetland can preserve most of its services. In order to find that level, a study of the key factors of climate change and their interactions using an appropriate experimental method is necessary. Some contradictory results of past experiments can be associated with different methodologies, designs, time periods, climates, and natural variability. Hence a long-term simulation of climate change for wetlands according to the proposed framework is recommended. This framework provides relatively more accurate and realistic simulations, valid comparative results, comprehensive understanding and supports coordination between researchers. This can help to find a sustainable management strategy for wetlands to be resilient to climate change.  相似文献

湿地生态系统退化机制和驱动力的模型构建——以天津地区湿地为例     

孟伟庆  王中良  汲奕君 《湿地科学与管理》2013,(3):48-51

在评述目前关于湿地退化机制和驱动因素研究的基础上,以天津地区湿地为例,从湿地生态系统结构和功能的整体性角度,分析了湿地退化过程中各结构组分与生态功能的关系。湿地作为重要的生态系统,其退化机制与驱动力分析应该首先从生态学角度出发,分析造成湿地生态系统结构改变的因素,以及对湿地生态系统服务功能退化的影响,确定了湿地退化的驱动力因素。按照其内在的逻辑关系,构建了湿地生态系统退化机制和驱动力模型,对影响天津地区湿地退化的驱动因素进行了梳理,并根据分析结果提出了天津湿地生态恢复的对策建议。  相似文献

深圳华侨城湿地位于珠江口深圳湾北岸,通过箱涵与深圳湾海水相通,总面积69万m2,水域面积约50万m2,是深圳湾湿地生态系统的重要组成部分。对华侨城湿地植被、鸟类、底栖生物、浮游生物的多样性进行了调查,结果表明:华侨城湿地共有植物60科162种,其中真红树植物5科6属7种,半红树植物3科4属5种,外来入侵植物27种;鸟类共有12目36科101种,约占深圳湾鸟类总种数的50%,其中国家Ⅱ级重点保护野生鸟类6种;共鉴定出藻类5门11属14种;浮游动物25种。华侨城湿地面临严重的生态危机,主要包括入侵植物大面积分布、物种单一,鸟类、底栖生物类等生物多样性与福田红树林保护区及凤塘河口相比较低,并据此提出了相应的保护建议。  相似文献

人口增长、经济发展和生活水平的提高导致对有限的水资源竞争和水冲突的增加,确保水资源的可持续利用是保障社会经济可持续发展的前提。水资源的可持续利用是建立在生态系统良好的基础上,湿地公园的建立是统一保护与利用水资源的有效方式之一。湿地公园内的水环境保护与湿地公园的长远发展息息相关。以山东拥翠湖国家湿地公园为例,探讨了水环境保护理念下的湿地公园规划方法及内容,包括水资源、水岸、栖息地的保护,以及合理利用湿地资源的方法。由于湿地水环境保护标准尚未确定,基于水环境保护前提下的湿地公园规划还需完善。  相似文献

湿地恢复是指通过生态技术或生态工程对退化或消失的湿地进行修复或重建,再现退化前的结构和功能以及相关的物理、化学和生物学特性,使其发挥应有的作用。自2010年,翠湖湿地综合运用了微地形重塑、基质恢复、植被种植和岸带护坡等湿地生境恢复技术,累计应用面积约13.33 hm2。翠湖湿地应用生境恢复技术之后,有效改善了水环境质量,血红裸藻"水华"现象爆发频率显著降低,水华覆盖面积得到有效控制。同时,湿地基质质量得到了有效提升。湿地植被覆盖度由恢复之前的51%增加到恢复后的71%;植物物种由221种增加为236种;水鸟种类和偶见种有所增加。本研究可为城市湿地恢复提供技术支撑。  相似文献
