Abstract

This study is performed by using Quickbird images in 2006 as the data resource.Combined investigation with statistics of forestland resources in Xi'an City and integrated GIS with the analysis of landscape patterns,the forest landscape attributes in the city are analyzed.Results show that forest resources in the Xi'an City are deficient,unbalanced,and centralized.Urban forest coverage is low and small patches occupies a large proportion.The present layout of urban greening species fails to form intense eco-relationship and is not strong enough to benefit the people.
