Project name:　Stress Effects of the Coastal Spatial Use and Landscape Pattern Changes on Eco-environmental in Xiamen

Sponsor: Chinese Academy of Sciences

Project description: Young Talent Front Field Project in Knowledge Innovation Project of Chinese Academy of Sciences

Performing Organization: Institute of Urban Environment, CAS

Project leader: Tao Lin

Project Abstracts: Taking Xiamen coastal area as example, the project tries to find out the driving and constrain mechanism of socioeconomic and natural physical factors on coastal spatial use and landscape pattern changes during rapid urbanization process, through combining the socioeconomic analysis methods and 3S. On the other hand, the eco-environmental stress effect of coastal spatial use and landscape pattern changes will be studied by typical species field survey and ecological service assessment. Finally, the coastal sustainable urbanization suggestions will be raised according to scenario analysis of the spatial use and landscape changes in Xiamen in the future and theirs eco-environmental stress effects. The project will enhance our understanding of the interaction between coastal urbanization and landscape changes on city scale, definitude the stress effect of regional biodiversity and ecological services. The results of the study will contribute to the rational urban construction and layout planning.
