Abstract

The rapid urbanization process, accompanied by the transformation of high-intensive land development and land use, constantly encroaches on habitat patches, making them increasingly fragmented and isolated, which directly influences the regional landscape pattern and sustainable development. Taking the Tomur World Natural Heritage region as the study area, the morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) method and landscape index method were used to extract the ecological source areas of great significance to the construction of ecological corridors. Then, using the minimum cumulative resistance model ( MCR ), the comprehensive resistance surface was constructed and the potential corridors were generated by the minimum cost path method. Finally, according to the gravity model, the important corridors of the study area were designed. Results showed that the MSPA method and MCR model can be used in combination to identify the potential ecological corridors in the study area and clarify the priority of landscape element protection in the study area, which can provide guidance to construct the ecological network and provide reference for other regions as well.
