ArcGISpro利用ModelBuilder分析景观破碎度

DC’s Northern Virginia suburbs have been growing rapidly since the 1960s. Development continues apace in more recent years and is rapidly converting forest and agricultural land cover to (mostly) low density residential and commercial developments. The process of urbanization is not spatially or temporally uniform. Thus, the landscape becomes fragmented. For example, large patches of forest can be whittled away slowly reducing patch size and increase the edge ratio. Additionally, roads can dissect forest patches, effectively trapping some species on one side or the other.
In this study, you will quantify the changes in land cover and the associated landscape patch dynamics. Using a “starter set” of 13 patches in the Gainesville, VA area, you will quantify changes to forest patch size, shape, and viability as habitat from 1989 to 2016.
Ultimately, you’d like to be able to answer ecological questions such as: How much forest has been lost in this 26-year period? How is the number and connectivity of patches changing? How much more likely is it that flora or fauna will be exposed at patch edges following suburban development?

简而言之，下图绿色是森林斑块，根据景观生态学的观点，修建道路（经过森林）会破坏两边的生态环境，这里用1990-2003、2003-2017两期的道路探究这种影响

构建一个Model Builder，创建缓冲区，结合两期的道路信息判断碎片化的廊道。

由于年份不只一年，创建一个Model Builder批处理时很好的。

由于年份不是几十年，所以也没必要写Arcpy。

下图显示了 1989 年、2003 年和 2016 年的“patch”数量。结果表明“patch”数量明显增加，这不是一件好事。 森林的破碎化破坏了生态、动物栖息地等。
