Abstract:Based on GIS technology and by using moving window method, the charact eristics of landscape pattern in Northeast China in 2006 and the relationships b etween these characteristics and environmental factors such as precipitation, ai r temperature, altitude and human activities were studied. In the study area in 2006, forest land had the largest proportion, followed by the cultivated land, occupying 6169% and 2511% of the total respectively, and the landscape diversity had the characteristics of circle-zoning structur e, which provided a buffer region for fragmented and sensitive regions, making t he adverse ecological consequences be reduced to or restricted in a definite sca le. The correlation coefficients of landscape indices with precipitation and air temperature were less than 04, and those with altitude were less than 007, il lustrating that the heterogeneity of landscape pattern in study area was not dep endent on single natural factors.
