title: [Assistant assessment of landscape indices for general planning program of Wusuli River National Forest Park].
abstract: Landscape indices provide quantitative information about landscape pattern and predict some ecological processes. Rationality of Wusuli River National Forest Park' general planning program was evaluated by comparatively analyzing the landscape indices change. The results indicated that the number of patch decreased from 413 to 401, Shannon's evenness index increased from 0.755 to 0.787, and predominant index decreased from 25.547 to 24.500. In addition, the network connectivity index, the network circuitry index, and landscape attractive power between scenic spot were increased, and the extent of landscape fragmentation was decreased. So, the planning would improve the landscape pattern, enhance ecosystem stability and landscape quality, and be useful for ecological protection and ecotourism development.
