Construction of “Biomigration – Regional Cooling” Multi-functional Ecological Network in Wuhan Urban Agglomeration by Jiajie LI, Yuanyuan GU, Zhong XING

“…Based on land use type, elevation, slope, distance from road, distance from construction land, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and other data, the resistance values of biomigration and cold island diffusion are calculated respectively, and raster resistance surfaces are generated in ArcGIS. 3) Based on minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) and circuit theory, biomigration corridors and regional cooling corridors are generated respectively by using the Linkage Mapper toolbox. 4) Two kinds of corridors are overlapped to form a multifunctional ecological network pattern, based on which the key areas for ecological protection and restoration are identified in Wuhan urban agglomeration.ResultsIn this research, Wuhan urban agglomeration is taken as the research area. …”
