“…The effective protection of ecological sources also requires a certain buffer distance. Combined with related studies (Cui et al, 2022;Peng et al, 2017), the buffer widths of ecological sources and ecological corridors are concentrated between 100-1100 m. The main distribution land use types of ecological source areas are forest and grassland, and the ecological resistance of forest and grassland is low, which is suitable for species migration. Therefore, the research combined the proportion of forest and grassland in different buffer widths (between 100-1100 m, at intervals of 100 m) to select an appropriate threshold.…”

“…In this study, initial resistance values of different land use types were first set in combination with relevant studies (Jiang et al, 2022), and then the ecological resistance surface was modified by the night light index for land use data, and ecological corridors were extracted by the MCR model (Pan et al, 2022). The methods mainly referred to relevant research (Cui et al, 2022; Peng, Pan, et al, 2018; Zhang et al, 2017).…”

Ecological security patterns (ESPs) have become an important spatial approach to alleviate the contradiction between ecological protection and economic development. The identification of ecological sources is the primary part of studying ESPs, and methods based on ecosystem services (ESs) have been widely used. However, the current method of simply overlaying ESs for ecological source identification has difficulty supporting different regional decision-making needs of the target. Taking the West Liaohe River basin in China as an example, this study aims at developing four regional sustainable development goals (RSDGs) of carbon neutrality, water security, soil security, and biodiversity protection. Six ESs, including net primary production (NPP), water retention (WR), water purification (WP), soil conservation (SC), soil loss by wind (SL), and habitat quality (HQ), in the West Liaohe River basin from 2010 to 2020 were evaluated. Based on the current mainstream research paradigm of 'source identification-resistance surface construction-corridor extraction-safety pattern identification', combined RSDGs and ESs, the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model was used to identify the West Liaohe River basin development goals.The pattern of ecological security was discussed, and the identification, optimization, and construction plan of the regional comprehensive ESP were discussed in combination with the actual situation of the region. The study found that simply overlaying ESs to identify ecological sources leads to the neglect of some areas that provide key ESs, and it is difficult to directly support regional ecological protection decisions under different objectives, while a multiobjective-oriented comprehensive ecological security pattern helps to promote ESs and their relationships. The research results will help to improve the understanding of the ESP and provide a basis for the ecological protection and restoration of the basin and the optimization of the spatial structure to promote the sustainable development of the 'social-economic-ecological' complex system in the West Liaohe River basin.

“…Since the 1990s, rampant industrialization and urbanization have contributed to widening the disparity between China's regional economic development and environmental regulation. In order to alleviate human-land conflicts and reduce regional ecological risks, domestic scholars, based on the theory of "anti-planning" (Yu, 1996), ecosystem services (Jin et al, 2021), landscape pattern optimization (Han et al, 2021), and other theories, have conducted in-depth research on ESPs from different perspectives, including ecological red line division (Lin et al, 2021), ecosystem service supply and demand , and social equity (Cui et al, 2022). At present, research on the construction of ESPs covers a wide range of different spatial scales (national, regional, and landscape), involving typical regions such as arid areas in northwest China (Zhang and Wei, 2019), rapidly urbanizing areas (Ding et al, 2022), and agricultural pastoral ecotones (Wang et al, 2014).…”

As areas of dense populations and high economic activity, urban agglomerations have driven an overall increase in economic efficiency; however, the associated ecological risks are becoming increasingly apparent. The construction of ecological security patterns (ESPs) is an important approach for ensuring the ecological security of urban agglomerations, thereby achieving coordinated development of society, economy and ecology. Previous studies on ESPs have rarely considered the demand for ecosystem services at multiple scales and have accordingly failed to accurately identify important ecological sources. Here, we propose a novel method based on multi-scale ecosystem service demand to identify ecological sources, which can more accurately identify the ecological source meeting the regional sustainable development. Selecting the Guanzhong Plain urban agglomeration (GPUA) as study area, we constructed a resistance surface by comprehensively considering natural and anthropogenic disturbances. We found high resistance areas are mainly concentrated in highly urbanized areas with Xi’an as the core. In addition, we performed minimum cumulative resistance and gravity model to obtain and classify ecological corridors. The results revealed that the ecological sources identified in this study can enhance the connectivity of the inner regions of the GPUA and the linkage between north and south ecological corridors. The ecological sources were found to be concentrated in the southern Qinling Mountains, with an area of 28,780.02 km2, accounting for 26.85% of entire region. Furthermore, we identified 121 potential ecological corridors, 47 ecological nodes, and 49 ecological breakpoints, and established that the extent of land with a high level of ecological security accounts for 21.98% of the entire regional area. This study offers a new perspective for ESPs construction, which can provide a scientific basis and policy guidance for the optimization of spatial structure and the maintenance of ecological security in ecologically fragile urban agglomerations.

“…It has the advantage of considering both distance and resistance and has good applicability and extensibility [5,16]. The MCR model has been widely used by many academicians in various fields: monitoring non-point source pollution, water environmental protection, determining urban extension boundaries [17,18] to optimize the landscape pattern by constructing a landscape cumulative resistance surface, finding the " corridor" with the least resistance in the cumulative resistance surface, and constructing key ecological elements such as ecological corridors and ecological nodes.…”

The ecological protection and sustainable development of Urumqi have become an important part of the high-quality growth of the urban agglomeration on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain. Under the impacts of multi-source factors, the ecological landscape pattern of Urumqi has changed due to it being in a fragile eco-environment, so an ecological network is desperately needed to enhance ecological security patterns. Taking Urumqi city as the study area, the ecological risk evaluation model and the minimum cumulative resistance model were integrated to analyze the spatial and temporal features of landscape ecological risk from 2000 to 2020, and the future land use simulation model was used to predict the ecological risk pattern of Urumqi in 2030, construct a landscape ecological network, and propose ecological security protection strategies. Since 2000, land use in Urumqi has undergone drastic changes: the built-up land area has increased significantly, the landscape has diversified, and landscape fragmentation has shown a decreasing trend from the main urban area as the core to the urban fringe. The high-risk landscape ecology shows a decreasing trend from east to west, mainly in the bare land areas with sparse vegetation, whereas the risk is relatively low in woodland, arable land, and built-up areas. The change of risk in the study area is mainly influenced by the typical defective factors of oasis cities such as urban expansion, land desertification, and sparse vegetation. The landscape ecological network is mainly located in the southwest, central, and east of the study area, whereas there is no corridor distribution in the north and southeast, which is mainly caused by the special geographical location and climatic conditions. The ecological network mainly consists of 10 ecological sources and 10 ecological corridors and proposes conservation strategies for the optimization of the landscape pattern and for the construction of the ecological security pattern in Urumqi, providing a guide for the improvement of ecological security.
