GIS作为一种空间信息管理工具,对空间信息具备输入、编辑、存储、分析以及表达功能,在生态学研究与应用领域中引起越来越广泛的重视。RS是以物理、数学、地学分析为基础的综合性技术,具有宏观、综合、动态和快速的特点,是生态学研究中采集数据的主要手段之一。该文介绍了GIS、RS技术的定义,以及GIS和RS在生态学研究中的主要应用,对其在生态学技术的进一步应用作了展望。
As a tool for spatial information management, GIS was equipped withflmctions such as input, editing, storage, analysis and expression, which was attracting more and more attention in ecological study and application.RS is a comprehensive technology based on physics, mathematics and geological analysis, which has the characteristics of macroscopic, comprehensive, dynamic and fast.It is one of the main means to collect data in ecological research.In this article, GIS and RS' definition and principle, and its main application in ecological research were introduced. We also provide an outlook of the future application of GIS and RS in ecological study.
