Spatiotemporal Evolution of Lakes Under Rapid Urbanization: a Case Study in Wuhan, China

However, the long-term evolution of lakes in a certain megacity and the heterogeneity of the spatial relationship between related influencing factors and lake changes are rarely discussed. The evolution of 58 lakes in Wuhan, China from 1990 to 2019 was analyzed from three aspects of lake area, lake landscape, and lakefront ecology, respectively. The Multi-Scale Geographic Weighted Regression model (MGWR) was then used to analyze the impact of related influencing factors on lake area change. The investigation found that the total area of 58 lakes decreased by 15.3%. A worsening trend was found regarding lake landscape with the five landscape indexes of lakes dropping; in contrast, lakefront ecology saw a gradual recovery with variations in the remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) in the lakefront area. The MGWR regression results showed that, on the whole, the increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), RSEI in the lakefront area, precipitation, and humidity Citation: Wen, C.; Zhan, Q.; Zhan, contributed to lake restoration. -

Received: 28 March 2014; in revised form: 31 March 2014 / Accepted: 23 May 2014 / Published: 5 June 2014 Abstract: The complex interactions among optically active substances in Case II waters make it difficult to associate the variability in spectral radiance (or reflectance) to any single component. In the present study, we developed a four end-member spectral decomposition model to estimate chlorophyll-a concentrations in a eutrophic shallow lake—Lake Taihu. The new model was constructed by simulated spectral data from Hydrolight and was successfully validated using both of simulated reflectance and in situ reflectance data. Using MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) images, the accuracy of the new model was estimated and compared with other published models. -
