Summary: This study proposed a new strategy to optimize ecological sources and resistance surfaces to meet future needs, resulting in expanded ecosystem services coverage and enhanced internal connectivity. The optimized ecological sources in a rapidly urbanizing region in Hunan Province were 9.60% larger than the existing areas, which could serve as a new reference for ecological protection and development planning in central-south China.

Summary: Research on ecological corridor extraction methods has made progress and been applied to regional ecological corridors, playing a role in biodiversity conservation. However, factors affecting species migration, especially anthropogenic disturbances like noise pollution, are underestimated. This paper proposes an algorithm for superposition analysis and a new extraction method that considers landscape pattern, habitat quality, remote sensing ecology, and road traffic resistance. The improved method shows effectiveness in ecological corridor extraction and reveals potential impacts of road traffic.

Summary: This study focuses on constructing an urban ecological security pattern in Shenzhen, China, through identifying ecological sources and elements like ecological corridors, nodes, and stepping stones. The proposed pattern divides the city into different zones and suggests appropriate widths for ecological corridors. This scientific approach to ESP identification based on habitat quality can serve as a reference for urban ecological function regionalization planning.

Summary: The construction of ecological corridors is of great significance for restoring fragmented urban landscapes and forming a cohesive urban ecosystem. This study used Fuzhou as a case study to analyze various corridors and surface temperature data, and constructed a network of ecological corridors. The connectivity and effectiveness of the network were evaluated.

Summary: Well-functioning ecological corridors are crucial for biodiversity conservation. However, discussions on the spatial delineation and quantitative adjustment costs of rebuilding broken corridors are rare. This study used simulation and analysis to identify ecological corridors in Nanjing city and quantitatively calculate the costs of rebuilding them. Based on ecological suitability and economic rationality, the study found the most appropriate width for rebuilding ecological corridors.

Summary: By using MSPA and landscape index method to extract ecological source areas, constructing ecological networks based on the MCR model, and optimizing with stepping stones and ecological fault points, suitable ecological corridors with a width of 60 to 200 meters were identified. The results provide a methodological reference for constructing ecological networks and can be applied to urban planning and biodiversity protection worldwide.

Summary: This study focuses on the Southwest Guangxi Karst-Beibu Gulf and analyzes the changes and driving mechanisms of ecological carrying capacity from 1990 to 2040 using an improved ecological footprint model and the Patch-generating Land Use Simulation (PLUS) model. It proposes the concept of history-present-future to construct an ecological security pattern, and develops an integrated ecological security network structure of points, lines, and surfaces through the identification of ecological source patches and corridors.

Summary: This study uses the MCR model and PLES theory to simulate the potential of land consolidation in different regions of Chongqing and proposes corresponding strategies and measures. The results show that there are differences and overlaps in the suitability distribution in different regions of Chongqing, considering productivity, livability, and sustainability. Meanwhile, the study divides the 1031 townships in Chongqing into different types of land consolidation areas, providing guidance for local land consolidation planning and implementation.

Summary: Research on the establishment of a regional ecological network is important for the protection of regional animals and plants, water conservation, sustainable resource utilization, and optimization of land use patterns. The study found that land use changes have an impact on the ecological security pattern, with the expansion of certain land use types causing fragmentation of ecological patches. However, the distribution of landscape types gradually became more uniform. The establishment of an ecological network can enhance ecosystem stability and overall ecological connectivity in the region.
