Abstract
The Sanjiang Plain is located in the northeast corner of Heilongjiang Province, northeast China. It is a marshy low plain mainly formed by the alluvial confluence of the Heilongjiang, Songhua and Ussuri rivers, and is one of China’s largest contiguous distribution areas of freshwater wetlands. It is also greatly affected by human activities, and is a region with one of the fastest reductions in natural wetland area (Liu and Ma 2002).
