A preliminary study on the spatial relationships of landscape types and their scale analyses in the Scenery District of Wuyi Mountain

The spatial relationships of lan dscape types and the scale effects in the Scenery District of Wuyi Mountain are analyzed in this paper．The rmults show that the relationships of landscape types are affected by different sampling scales．The higher the fragmentation degrees of the landscape types are．the greater the effects of sampling wales on their spatial relationships will be，while the sampling scale effects will be smaller if the fragmentation degrees of landscape types are lower；the sampling scale should not be too large in the research of spatial relationships of landscape types．For the Scenery District of Mt．Wuyi, the sampling scale of 200m ×200m is the best；the characteristics of spatial relationships of landscape types in the Scenery District show that the landscape pattern in low elevation is controlled by the disturbance regime，which comes from residential area，spreads through farmland and river，and in the middle or high elevation，the landscape pattern is controlled by the natural Pinus massoniana forest which is rnainly made of near-ripe and over-ripe forests of Pinns massoniana.
