Abstract:Urban wetland is an important part of urban ecosystem. In recent years, with the rapid development of urbanization, the original natural ecological background and hydrological characteristics of urban wetland have changed thoroughly, which seriously threatens the ecological security of wetland. In order to maintain high-quality urban environment, increasing concern has been focused on how to protect the ecological health of urban wetland and improve its sustainable development. In this study, the urban district in Xiong'an New Area (including start zone, Anxin group and Rongcheng group) was selected as the research objective. Under the support of ArcGIS platform, remote sensing data of the study area were used to extract landscape information about different land use types, and Fragstat software was used to analyze the landscape pattern characteristics. Based on landscape pattern and the characteristics of the wetlands in study district, the press-state-response (PSR) model was used to evaluate the health state of urban wetland ecosystem by building the index system of wetland ecosystem health. The results showed that the farmland and construction land in research area account for a larger proportion, and their integrity, degree of aggregation and connectivity are better than the other types of landscape. Besides, the water, unused land and woodland account for a smaller proportion. Affected by frequent human activities, these types of landscape are characterized with high degree of fragmentation and poor connectivity. In the study area, the overall landscape fragmentation and aggregation degree of the research area are high, but their connectivity and uniformity are not significant. The wetlands in this area are unevenly distributed, showing a pattern of more in the south but less in the north. The wetland types mainly consist of ditches and pit-ponds; however, their characters differ from each other. Compared to pit-ponds, the ditches cover a larger area and show a better connectivity, but their degree of fragmentation and aggregation are lower than that of the pit-ponds. The analyzing results of PSR model showed the comprehensive index of wetland ecological health is 0.262, which means that the wetland system in the research district is in the state of unhealth. Moreover, human activities and climate are the most important factors affecting the wetland ecological environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to protect and restore wetland system in Xiong'an New Area. Finally, the results of this study provide theoretical basis for the sustainable development of Xiong'an New Area and the protection of wetland resources in urban areas.
