Abstract

【Objective】In the context of rapid urbanization, establishing an ecological security pattern (ESP) for natural protected areas (NPAs) is crucial for enhancing connectivity and guiding territorial spatial ecological restoration practices.【Method】Taking the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration (YRDUA) as the study area, ecological sources were identified based on ecosystem service value by integrating morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) with data on existing NPAs. A comprehensive resistance surface was constructed using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and ecological corridors were extracted via the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model. There by constructing an ESP with the model of “Ecological sources-Resistance surface-Ecological corridors”. Connectivity characteristics of NPAs were systematically assessed to pinpoint key areas for territorial spatial ecological restoration. 【Result】The study identified 145 ecological sources, 323 ecological corridors, and 34 potential corridors. Critical restoration targets included one low-security zone, 179 ecological pinch points, and 35 ecological barriers. 【Conclusion】This research reveals significant connectivity challenges among NPAs in the YRDUA and proposes connectivity enhancement strategies within territorial spatial planning: (1) Breaking administrative boundaries to promote cross-regional ecological corridor development. (2) Implementing differentiated restoration in priority zones. These findings provide scientific support for optimizing NPA connectivity and regional ecological restoration.
