摘要
Constructing an ecological network is crucial to maintaining ecosystem stability, optimizing ecological space, and ensuring regional ecological security. Using circuit theory, the study integrated habitat condition, ecosystem function, and landscape structure to construct ecological network in Ulanqab. The ecological networks consist of four basic components, including sources, resistance surfaces, corridors and nodes. Ecological sources refer to patches with high habitat quality, while the resistance to species movement between patches is named as ecological resistance surfaces, the important corridors for movement between patches are referred to as ecological corridors, and the vital spots in ecological network are referred to ecological nodes. In addition, the drivers affecting these changes were also analyzed using geographical detector. The results indicated that the area of ecological sources dropped by 19.1 % and the area of high value of ecological resistance surfaces increased from 2000 and 2020. The length of ecological corridors increased by 793.80 km. Mean annual precipitation is the main natural factor influencing the ecological network, and land use intensity and human footprint are the main anthropogenic factors. Our findings suggest that in this region, urban developing should minimize the encroachment on grasslands, forests and waters. Additionally, the availability of water resources should be considered in the planning and implementation of ecological restoration and protection. The findings of the study offer reasonable suggestions for the protection and restoration of priority regions, as well as a scientific foundation optimization and sustainable development of the regional ecological network.
