We used three TM images of Ebinur lake wetland: 1990, 2003 and 2010 (August) as the basis data source, We basing on the Markov transfer matrix to analyze the change in value and its transfer tendency of each land use type, and using Fragstats 3.3 software to analyze spatial and temporal change of landscape pattern of our study area in nearly 20 years.Our results show : (1) The land use change of the Ebinur lake wetland is significant: both cultivated land and residential land have expanded significantly, vegetation degraded, and the lake areas shrinked; (3)During 1990-2010, the number of landscape patches increased, the landscape diversity index and fragmentation index increased too, the shape of landscape patches tend to fragment, and the contagion index also declined constantly, which all indicating a fragment trend of landscape pattern of Ebinur lake wetland.
