The Research on Natural Vegetation's Response to Agriculture in Tarim River Basin in Recent 50 Years Using Multi-Source Remote Sensing Data
Abstract
Excessive water is used by farm field in Tarim river
basin, it is very important to deep study on the relation between area
of farm field and natural vegetation in recent 50 years. Collecting and
processing various decades of remote sensing data, and got area of farm
field, grass, forest, town and non-serviceable field. These results
indict that: Because of the high flow period between 1950 and 1972, a
part of grassland converts forest. From 1972 to 1990, because of
increase of farm field, limited water isn't enough to grassland and
forest, and a fraction of forest area converts grassland again. With
rapid increase of area of farm field, more water need from the river and
underground, which causes water level depression, and natural ecology
becomes deteriorative from 1990 to 2000. Comprehensive analysis indicts
that agriculture control implemented by government is necessary to
recovery of ecology, or farm field also would be lost eventually with
destruction of natural ecology.
