Ecological restoration, as a component of sustainable development, can mitigate ecosystem degradation and improve ecological diversity. Accurate identification restoration priority areas (ERPAs) is essential for developing practice. However, few studies have considered both reference conditions vulnerability during restoration. In this study, comprehensive framework ERPA was developed by integrating vulnerability. Using the Jialing River Basin (JRB), representative basin Yangtze River, case our results revealed that under average climate conditions, with high values were mostly in eastern southeastern mountainous JRB, whereas potential concentrated central northern southern basin. Additionally, regions found urban scattered along major tributaries. Overall, identified ERPAs predominantly areas, some basin, accounting 9.61% JRB. Consequently, JRB be divided into four targeted management strategies to address implement activities. Moreover, we suggest proposed identifying used clarifying objectives, assessing baseline, offering scientific large-scale efforts.
