Identification of Key Ecological Restoration Areas and Optimal Allocation of Vegetation for Water Conservation in Hanjiang River Basin
[Objective] The key ecological restoration areas for water conservation in the Hanjiang River basin were identified
and the allocation of vegetation was optimized
and to verify the effects of ecological restoration was verified in order to provide a scientific basis for the implementation of ecological restoration projects.[Methods] The InVEST model was used to estimate the water conservation amount in 2020
and the key ecological restoration areas were identified according to the strength of the water conservation function. The ecological restoration scope was defined as the area with forest land
shrub forest
grassland
unused land
and cultivated land with slopes greater than 25° in the weak water conservation function area. A forest land suitability evaluation was carried out at the restoration area. The optimal configuration between land cover types was simulated
and the water conservation function of the restoration area after the configuration and completed was compared with the water conservation function before the configuration.[Results] Water production in the restoration area decreased by 6.97% after the optimal allocation of vegetation
and the total amount of water conservation increased by 14.96%.[Conclusion] The Hanjiang River basin has potential to improve water conservation by means of vegetation optimization allocation. In the future
the restoration area of the Hanjiang River basin should be identified by considering other ecological service functions on the basis of water conservation
and more comprehensive restoration measures should be taken to solve the ecological problems of the Hanjiang River basin.
