Abstract:

Shennongjia of Hubei Province is rich in biodiversity and has high conservation value,which is highly irreplaceable worldwide.In order to more accurately protect important ecological resources in Shennongjia and improve protection efficiency,this study built an ecological protection priority area identification model for Shennongjia of Hubei Province,and conducted protection priority area identification and protection gap analysis for its regions.The results showed that the overall ecological value of Shennongjia in Hubei Province was relatively high,and the spatial distribution pattern of ecological protection importance was divided by provincial highway "318 - national highway 242 - provincial highway 318".The ecological protection importance in the north was significantly weaker than that in the south;The priority area for ecological protection in Shennongjia was mainly located in areas with high degree of naturalness and low human interference,including Taiyangping,Houziya,Shennongding,and other areas.However,there were still gaps in the protection of Liushuping in Zhuxi County,Hongyanzhai in Fangxian County,Heishayu in Shennongjia forest region,Huangqiya in Xingshan County,and Taihuang Mountain.The priority areas for ecological protection had basically been included in the management scope of natural protected areas and nature reserves,but there were still some gaps in protection.It is suggested that the opportunity of establishing Shennongjia National Park can be used to further integrate and optimize the regional nature reserve system,and improve protection efficiency on the basis of ensuring that areas with high ecological value are included in the protection scope.

Key words: natural protected area, small nature reserve, importance of ecological protection, conservation priority areas, conservation gap
