Abstract :
The impacts of land use on ecosystem have received high attention in global environmental change. Different land use patterns and intensities play significant impact on ecological integrity, which can be directly reflected on ecosystem composition and structure. The effectiveness of ecosystem integrity evaluation plays an important role in sustainable development. The innovation of this paper is the selection of evaluation index and the establishment of evaluation index system from the perspective of landscape based on the support of GIS and RS.
