Study on the Dynamic Changes of Landscape Ecological Pattern in Beihai Wetland, Tengchong City by Xu Hongmei, Xi Wujun

“…Results indicate:(1) Wetland area showed sharp non-linear fluctuations, expanding from 26.10 hm² (2009) to 152.46 hm² (2024);(2) Landscape metrics reveal rising heterogeneity: wetland patches became less regular, structural complexity increased significantly, and spatial fragmentation intensified, indicating greater distribution discreteness;(3) Key ecological land declined substantially: forests shrank 8.3% and meadows decreased 40.4% since 2009, directly threatening habitats of endangered Brasenia schreberi and Grus nigricollis. …”
