In recent years,the ecological quality of ditches became worse and worse with the degradation of its ecological functioning.It was necessary to apply a multi-disciplinary and multi-scale approach to study ditches based on landscape ecology theory.Spatial and network features of agricultural ditches in Lake Dianchi Basin were analyzed by geographic information system technology.The results indicated that the ditches at high level were made by concrete or block stones,the coverage of vegetation of buffer zones and width ratio between ditch sections and vegetation zones were very low;The network of agricultural ditches in Lake Dianchi basin had similar characteristics,the connectivity and circuitry were low,and the fractal dimension index of ditch network were larger in southeastern and southern banks.
