Construction of a Forest Ecological Network Based on the Forest Ecological Suitability Index and the Morphological Spatial Pattern Method: A Case Study of Jindong Forest Farm in Hunan Province

Human activities and climate change have resulted in an increasing fragmentation of forest landscapes, the conflict between biodiversity protection economic development has become more pronounced. The establishment ecological networks can be a vital part conservation sustainable development. Using Jindong Forest Farm as study area, this combines suitability index, morphological spatial pattern analysis, area method, landscape connectivity index (PC, IIC). This will identify source areas extract corridors using minimum cumulative resistance model gravity model, construct network with points edges. identified 11 patches highly suitable habitat regions regions, 54 potential were extracted. study’s results show that careful analysis landscape’s provides scientific method for rational selection serves reference protecting species diversity
