Optimization of the Loess Plateau of the China Ecological Network Pattern Based on a PLUS Model by Xiaoyan Luo, Xun Luo, Xianhua Yang, Jian Wang, Jialing Liao, Yu He, Ye Du, Ye Yang

“…The results indicate the following: (1) By 2030, the spatial pattern of ecological network under the four scenarios will be concentrated in the east and west, in the north and south, and the middle of the Loess Plateau. (2) The change of land use pattern driven by a single policy has a trade-off effect on the ecological network and is prone to form the phenomenon of “ecological increase–functional lag”. (3) The regional ecological network layout of “four cores, multiple corridors and multiple sources” was proposed. …”
