Abstract:[Objective] The key areas of territorial ecological restoration in Zhengzhou City were identified to provide a scientific reference for the planning of territorial ecological restoration in Zhengzhou City. [Methods] Morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) was used to identify ecological source areas, to extract ecological corridors, and to identify key areas for ecological restoration through landscape connectivity assessment and circuit theory, and finally to construct an ecological network security pattern. [Results] There were a total of 37 ecological source areas in Zhengzhou City, covering a total area of 983.29 km2, with a distribution pattern characterized as more in the west and less in the east, with a band-like agglomeration in the north-south direction. A total of 85 ecological corridors were extracted in Zhengzhou City, with lengths ranging from 0.11 to 47.92 km, totaling 689.50 km. Among these, there were 19 key ecological corridors, 29 important ecological corridors, and 37 general ecological corridors. Fifty-five ecological pinch points were identified, with a total area of 2.78 km2, mainly concentrated in the southwest part of Zhengzhou City. The locations of these pinch points had less resistance, and the main land use types were forests, grasslands, and water bodies. Three levels of obstacle points were classified based on cumulative current values, with a total area of 1 054.31 km2, accounting for 14.16% of the study area. These obstacle points were mainly located in urban areas around major transportation roads in Dengfeng City and Xinmi City. Considering the natural and social status of the study area, a “one belt, one ring, two zones, four groups, and multiple points” ecological network security pattern was proposed. [Conclusion] The following strategies for ecological restoration were proposed for the identified ecological pinch points and obstacle points: the ecological pinch point areas have relatively good ecological environments, so natural ecological maintenance should be the main focus. The obstacle point areas are mainly construction land with high development intensity and human disturbance, therefore both artificial and natural restoration should be given equal importance.
