A Framework for Developing Biodiversity Conservation Networks Based on Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis and the Maximum Entropy Model: A Case Study of the Jianghan Plain, Chi... by Xiaohua Guo, Chang Liu, Shibo Bi, Xuewen Zhang

“…Our findings indicated the following: (1) The Jianghan Plain hosts 21 major ecological sources, primarily natural water bodies at the plain’s edge, which can be classified into five primary and 16 secondary sources based on biodiversity grades. (2) The recessive corridors, comprising 10 primary and 95 secondary ones, are mainly concentrated in the central Jianghan Plain, with primary corridors located centrally and westward, characterized by a large overall span. (3) Changhu Lake and Honghu Lake, two critical water bodies with high-quality habitats and significant biodiversity, were identified as key ecological nodes from the ecological sources, bridging and guiding the central and southern corridors. (4) Based on the ecological network distribution and key nodes and corridors, a “three zones, three belts, and two points” strategy was proposed for optimizing the Jianghan Plain’s ecological network. …”
