Quercus species plays a key role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem stability as an important component of forest ecology. However, conservation researches on changes the geographic distribution ecological niche have been limited. In this study, we employed optimized MaxEnt model to simulate potential dynamics four evergreen broad-leaved (Q.baronii, Q.dolicholepis, Q.glauca, Q.spinosa) Yangtze Yellow River basins under different climate scenarios (SSP126 SSP585) 2050s 2070s. The relative contribution environmental factors future these was assessed through modeling. results show that Precipitation Coldest Quarter (bio19) Temperature Annual Range (bio7) are most affecting species. Habitat suitability for Q. baronii spinosa trended downward, while dolicholepis glauca expanded their habitat ranges. addition, change led significant contraction baronii, dolicholepis, SSP585-2050s scenario, had more pronounced effect expansion broadleaf other scenarios.

Urbanization has increasingly disrupted natural ecosystems, leading to various environmental problems and slowing sustainable economic social development. Ecological restoration zoning is key efficient efforts helps balance growth with ecological protection. This study develops an risk evaluation system, constructs security pattern, identifies urban construction space guide the of Jiaozuo City. The goal create a scientific practical program. findings are as follows: (1) in area characterized by distribution ‘low northern mountains southern mudflats high central plains’, whereas resilience ‘high low plains’. (2) pattern led identification 57 source areas, 164 corridors, 254 pinch points, 36 barrier points. (3) divides into five zones: protection, priority restoration, general management, moderate utilization, zones. Each zone requires specific strategies for recovery. provides foundation spatial planning, green development also new perspective framework research.
