Abstract

To guarantee the ecologic function supply in central China, such as biodiversity and water conservation, the ecological spatial pattern in the Qinba Mountain Area should be optimized; specifically, the spatial system of protected areas centering on national parks need to be improved and implemented. This study spatially identifies the main ecological corridors in the Qinba Mountain Area by analyzing suitable habitat conditions of indicator species and using minimum cost path calculation, and then clarifies the protection gaps according to the distribution of existing protected areas. It is suggested that a Funiu Mountain National Park should be built in this area and a Qinling National Park should be established covering the Shaanxi Province area of the existing Panda National Park. By this means, the spatial layout of four National Parks is formed in this area. On this basis, natural parks of other types can be newly built to further improve the existing gaps in the protection of important rare species and water sources.
