Abstract

. A total of 45 ecological corridors were extracted, totaling 2685.69 km in length, including 15 key ecological corridors spanning 1053.16 km. We identified 64 ecological strategic points. Hexi Corridor could be classified into four ecological zones: ecological safeguard zone, ecological rehabilitation zone, ecological improvement zone, and ecological conservation zone. The ecological sources and corridors were mainly located in the ecological safeguard zone and ecological conservation zone. Our results could provide theoretical references for ecological restoration research in the Hexi Corridor as well as in the northwestern China.
