  • Publication number: 20250306238
    Abstract: A method for delineating an ecological corridor based on a maximum similarity model determines ecosystem type according to the determined ecological source, and assigns a habitat suitability index; and according to a maximum similarity matrix between different ecosystems, assigns the habitat suitability index to peripheral pixels of the selected ecological source, to obtain a similar value of the habitat suitability index. The habitat suitability index is corrected according to the surface curvature data and population density data, and resistance surface data is calculated according to the corrected value. Based on the resistance surface data, an ecological corridor is delineated comprehensively to find one or more paths corresponding to a minimum cost distance as ecological corridors. The influence of ecological environment on ecological corridor establishment is considered more comprehensively, so that the ecological corridor is delineated more accurately, and applied into practice to maximum extent.
