Abstract

Monitoring biological diversity is a core scientific research project in the field of international biological diversity. To overcome drawbacks with traditional ground surveys, such as intensive labor and low efficiency, this study used remote sensing based estimation of biological diversity at the landscape scale. Zijin （Purple） Mountain National Forest Park in Nanjing was the research area where survey data from 90 field plots were collected in 2011, and Advanced Land Observing Satellite （ALOS） remote sensing imaging in the same year was gathered to build remote sensing based models for the Gleason Index and Shannon-Wiener Index. Then a trend surface analysis was conducted with hot spot detection for biodiversity indexes. Results showed that: 1） terrain factors （Gradient and elevation）, human disturbance （the distance of road and residential areas）, and vegetation growth conditions （the indexes of Gleason and Shannon-Wiener） were the primary environmental factors contributing to tree species diversity. 2） The Gleason Index for Zijin Mountain presented a ring pattern descending from southwest to northeast, and the Shannon-Wiener Index revealed a spatial pattern of a concentric circle with an eastward center. 3） Forest stands with a higher Gleason Index in Zijin Mountain were mainly located in places at lower elevations, with gentler slopes, and near roads and settlements; whereas, stands with a higher Shannon-Wiener Index were mainly concentrated in places at higher elevations, with steeper slopes, and far from road and residential lots. Therefore, we can protect tree species biodiversity for Zijin Mountain by the two means of increasing tree species and establishing conservation area.［Ch, 7 fig. 1 tab 14 ref.］
