Retrospective assessment of impact on landscape pattern of the open-pit coal mine in grassland areas——taking Shengli No1 open-pit coal mine for example
Taking Shengli No1 open-pit coal mine for example,through interpreting 40 years of remote sensing images around the coal mine,landscape types and landscape patterns change were looked back,and the results showed that:(1)The grassland was main landscape around Shengli No1 open-pit coal mine now,75.41% of the whole landscape was the grassland.Stipa krylovii presented the most part of the grassland landscape,Stipa krylovii was up to 60.22% in the wole landscape.Leymus chinensis was the second biggest part,and it was 11.58% of the whole landscape.(2)The landscape types around Shengli No1 open-pit coal mine changed greatly in recent 40 years,and the grassland landscape decreased and the man-created landscape increased continuously,especially after 2000 the rate of the man-created landscape increase quickly,and area of the man-created landscape in 2010 was 3.54 times as much as in 2000.(3)The soil texture around Shengli No1 open-pit coal mine was having translated from low wet soil to mesophytization and lithoid soil.Comparing with 1973,in 2010 Stipa krylovii area had increased 14.22%,while Leymus chinensis ares had decreased 53.6%.(4) Increasing of the man-created landscapes made the whole landscape around coal mine more diverse and homogeneous,and the dominance of the whole landscape reduced,and the degree of fragmentation enhanced.(5) Increasing of the man-created landscapes destroyed the diversity and homogeneity of the grassland landscape,and the dominance of grassland landscape enhanced with the increase of Stipa krylovii area.
