Abstract: 6 periods of landscape type maps based on remotely sensed data were used for a 324km2 region in the eastern part of Zhujiang delta, to carry out a computer supporting experiment study of spatial resolution effects for landscape pattern. 6 experimental conditions were designed which are 30, 60, 120, 240, 480, and 960m. The results demonstrated that: (1) the landscape pattern of study area changed significantly coincided with the decreasing of resolution; (2) patch number, patch perimeter, total landscape fragmentation index FN1, andtwo shape indexes (S1 and S2) are sensitive pattern indices to resolution, but patch areaproportion, diversity, dominance, and element fragmentation index FN2 are weakly sensitivepattern indices to resolution; (3) the resolution of fine scale landscape pattern study in study area should be lower than 60m, and that of coarse scale study should be higher than 240m.
