Published: June 19, 2023

Following severe anthropogenic pressure from rapid economic development, wetland biodiversity is now decreasing alarmingly, thus leading to adverse effects. Protected areas (PAs) can be crucial conservation tools secure biodiversity. However, whether these PAs exhibit high efficiency in buffering wildlife and habitats human pressures needs understood. Given their sensitivity habitat quality regional resource changes, threatened waterfowl could suitable ecosystem indicators. This study examined the effectiveness of Henan Yellow River Wetland National Nature Reserve (HYRWNNR), which a region on East Asia–Australia route for global bird migration. We performed Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modeling based field survey data 19 species, Human Impact Index (HII) was further mapped with waterfowls distribution identify gap priorities HYRWNNR. The results indicated that were affected by both environmental factors pressure, existed Two scenarios generated spatial pattern priorities, corresponding management strategies suggested. identifies novel perspective synthesizing suitability present basic information regarding HYRWNNR while supporting planning, ultimately promoting sustainability.

Spatial Optimization with Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis for Green Space Conservation Planning

Forests, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 1031 - 1031

Published: May 17, 2023

Conservation areas are essential for preserving green spaces and biological diversity. Although previous studies have demonstrated that spatial optimization techniques effective balancing the relationship between ecological importance pattern during conservation practices, design of corridors still requires an efficient, intelligent, flexible workflow. In addition, functional connectivity information is usually unavailable or very difficult to obtain. To alleviate these problems, this paper has developed a new optimization-based model combines morphological analysis (MSPA) with assessment. The consideration MSPA can guarantee enough in plan, while regions higher be discovered through This method been applied planning highly city. Several experiments indicated our proposed could achieve much better performance than conventional models terms pattern. Therefore, expected assist decision processes regulation fragmented urban ecosystems.

Published: June 15, 2023

Research on the climatic adaptation of apricot kernels (Prunus armeniaca L.) has significant meaning for optimizing their cultivation and utilizing resources effectively. This research utilizes geographical distribution data, environmental factors, soil altitude data kernel in China. By employing maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) geographic information system (ArcGIS), we identify key factors influencing China suitable areas cultivation. Our findings reveal that annual precipitation, frequency frost days April, altitude, pH, effective water content are primary impacting We classify planting suitability zones into four categories. The characterized by precipitation ranging from 330.54 mm to 616.42 mm, day 2.68 19.15 between 84.22 m 831.81 m, pH values 7.5 8.6, 1.16 3.88 deemed most growing kernels. correspond main reality.

Published: July 9, 2023

Ecosystem cultural services (CESs) are crucial for rural revitalization and sustainable development. As research on monitoring mapping CESs continues to increase, there is a relative lack of perspectives that effectively combine spatial modeling techniques with the local context in areas. Rural areas China face challenges such as encroachment ecological service spaces displacement relocation their own characteristics during urbanization process. It enhance our understanding relationship between CES characterization locality. This paper established framework quantitative optimization We selected Ecological Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone (EGIDZ) Yangtze River Delta subject, considering its representativeness Jiangnan Water Network Area integrated development across regions. The Maxent model was utilized integrate environmental variables locations services, facilitating evaluation CESs, well determining influence each variable. Additionally, K-means clustering employed analyze combination patterns. results indicated significant variations mean values distribution within category. natural environment, distance, human activities factors all exhibited effects shaping CESs. Furthermore, clusters were classified into three categories: CES-developed cluster, CES-developing CES-potential accounting 9.34%, 49.23%, 41.44%, respectively.
