Abstract

Spatial-temporal changes of land use and landscape pattern dynamic of Four Seasons Flower Valley in Beijing mountainous area were analyzed from 2007 to 2013. The results showed that: Regional structure of ecosystems in FSFV was forest-farmland-grassland. Farmland was the dominant artificial type mainly located in the relative low altitude areas and along the major road, while orchard land was mainly surrounding farmland and construction land. During 2007-2013, all acreage of ecosystem types increased except forest and wetland. Farmland had the lowest increment of 14.85 hm2 and was mainly converted into construction land, grassland and orchard land. Construction land had fastest annual growth rate of 2.37% followed orchard land of 1.93%. Land use and land cover change was mainly occurred in cultivated land and shrubland which mostly were converted into orchard land and construction land. Ecological environment became slightly worse and landscape showed a trend of fragmentation interrupted by human activities. Adjustment of agricultural structure, land resources utilization, leisure tourism economy development and the building area occupation were the main driving forces.
