Abstract: On the basis of the theory and method of landscape ecology, ecological integrity evaluation for the surroundings of Fengman hydropower station was carried out by using the landscape pattern index in terms of three aspects: landscape dominance, vegetation biomass, and landscape diversity. The results show that the comprehensive index value of the ecological integrity decreases to 0.8419(2008) from 0.8698(1979); the ecological integrity of this area has not been substantially changed; and the degradation trend is obvious.

Key words: ecological integrity, landscape pattern index, landscape ecology, Fengman hydropower station
