Reconstructing the ecological restoration pattern from the perspective of ecosystem health assessment in a typical black soil region of Northeast China

Assessments on the spatial pattern of ecological restoration potential provide insights into current status ecosystem health, facilitate identification hotspots degradation, and further serves as a link that bridges regional planning with specific efforts. The goal this study was to reconstruct pattern, through establishing an health assessment model encompassing four elements vigor, organization, resilience service ecosystem. Siping City, typical black soil region located in central Jilin Province Northeast China, selected area, protection units were identified based temporal changes levels from 2000 2020. Getis-Ord Gi* analysis adopted classify zones depict restoration. From 2020, index City generally increased 0.49 0.51 due increases forestland area precipitation, but fraction suburban areas also experienced decreases. Four different delineated, including windbreak sand-fixing zone western part, reclamation middle Daheishan shelter eastern water which account for 28.12%, 37.05%, 16.53% 18.29% total area. covered 1,189.83 km 2 2009.83 , could be classified 10 types accounted 31.24% It suggested methods applied should tailored towards objectives. This proposed methodological framework basis reconstructing region, reference making plans elsewhere.
