Abstract
The urban ecological network system is the basic guarantee for maintaining the stability of the overall green ecological space of the city and an important carrier for the city to practice the community of landscape, fields, forests, and lakes. The paper analyzed the separate year’s land use types map in 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019 in Zhengzhou City by using the morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) and landscape connectivity method and combining the graphic theory, quantitative analysis, and evaluation of the temporal and spatial pattern of the ecological network of Zhengzhou and even the changes in network connectivity. The results show that from 2007 to 2019, the total area of the urban ecological network in Zhengzhou is increasing gradually, which is the result of a series of “Forest City” strategic projects in Zhengzhou. The “Edge” area has developed and the transitional green belt between urban lands has improved; the “Bridge” area, “Branch” area, and “Loop” area increase first and then decrease, the degree of urban landscape fragmentation increases, and the landscape connectivity decreases; besides, the degree of fragmentation of urban landscape increases while the landscape connectivity decreases. The analysis of ecological network based on the landscape connectivity index showed that the overall and possible connectivity levels of Zhengzhou ecological network have increased. The level of connectivity of ecological network’s study area was still relatively low; the research results can improve the system of Zhengzhou ecological network, meanwhile provide effective information for the protection and restoration of ecological environment, and offer reference for the planning and construction of ecological network in central plains cities.
