摘要

Abstract

Based on Landsat TM images

we explored the pattern of variation of suitable waterbird habitats from 1990 to 2008 in the Dongtan area of Chongming Island at the Changjiang (Yangtze) River mouth. By applying our highly accurate indicator model (R=0.999

P<0.01)

we quantified the variations of fluctuation intensity for local waterbird habitats during 1990–2008

and for the main waterbird groups (Anatidae

Charadriidae

Ardeidae and Laridae) from 2006 to 2008

to evaluate the impact of habitat quantity change on the waterbird habitat status and the population dynamics of the different waterbird groups. The results show that the aquaculture ponds (AP) and the Scirpus mariqueter zone (SMZ) underwent drastic habitat changes during certain periods (AP: 1997–2000

2000–2003

2005–2008; SMZ: 1997–2000)

and the fluctuation intensity differed among habitat types in the order AP>SMZ>TSH (total suitable habitat)>BSA (bare mud flat and shallow water area). The abandonment of tracts of aquaculture ponds in Dongtan in mid-2006 brought about an intensive population fluctuation

caused by rapidly changing habitat with the population expanding to adjacent areas. At present

Anatidae and Ardeidae are threatened in the Dongtan area with declining populations because of their very “picky” habitat requirements (i.e.

high reliance on AP). The Charadriidae experienced enormous population declines in the late 1990s

however

they have since recovered to normal levels as habitat change has stabilized. Our findings suggest that the current challenges for habitat management are the protection and stabilization of AP and SMZ habitats.
