[Impact of Land Use Types at Different Scales on Surface Water Environment Quality and Its Driving Mechanism]

As an important carrier of human activities, the spatial type of land use has an important impact on the surface water environment. Taking the Ruoergai wetland as an example, based on object-oriented remote sensing interpretation of land use types combined with water quality examination data, this study analyzed the impact and driving mechanism of land use types at different scales on the surface water environment at the small watershed and buffer scale. ① It was found that the water quality of the Ruoergai wetland could been classified as water grade V, and it was slightly eutrophic as a whole. The main pollutants were total nitrogen(TN) and phosphorus(TP), and the pollution originated from domestic sewage and grazing. ② The environmental quality of surface water was closely related to land use types. There was a negative correlation between chemical oxygen demand(COD) and the proportion of water area, a positive correlation between TN and the proportion of swamp area, and a negative correlation between total TP. ③ There was a significant correlation between spatial land use types at different scales and surface water environment. The land use type within a buffer of 1000 m had the highest interpretation degree for all factors, the land use type within a buffer of 200 m had the greatest interpretation degree for COD, the land use type within a buffer of 500 m zone had the greatest interpretation degree for TP and TN, and the land use type within a buffer of 800 m had the greatest explanation for Chl-a. The results of this study showed that the Ruoergai wetland wetland had a certain purification effect on pollutants and eutrophication. However, different land use types had different effects on different pollutants. The water body had a purification effect on Fe²⁺, COD, and Chl-a, and the swamp had a purification effect on TP but a cumulative effect on TN. Thus, the small-buffer zone(≤ 1000 m) land use type should be controlled, the water body and swamp areas should be controlled, the self-purification capacity of wetland waters should be improved, and the surface water environment of the Ruoergai wetland should be further protected and repaired.
