It is a two grades system, including 10 landscape types and 31 landscape subtypes. Landscape type is divided by vegetation and landscape subtype is classified according to topography and vegetation map of landscape ecological types of the northern part of Jiangsu Province (1∶1000000) has been drawn. On the map the areas of landscape types and landscape subtypes are measured. Lastly, the ecological issues of the main landscape types in the northern part of Jiangsu Province such as sparse vegetation landscape, evergreen coniferous forest landscape, deciduous broad leaved forest landscape, dry land crop landscape, rotation of paddy and dry land landscape, paddy land crop landscape, freshwater landscape are analysed in detail, and the corresponding strategies are put forward.
