    Abstract:

    [Objective] The change of habitat quality of Jingwei wetland nature reserve in Xi'an City was investigated to provide scientific reference for the future development and environmental protection of the reserve.[Methods] Based on the InVEST biodiversity model and land use/cover data, this study analyzed the habitat quality of the reserve.[Results] ① In 2006-2016,the farmland was severely decreased and mainly converted to the grassland, forestland, and wetland. ② The habitat quality of the reserve showed an increasing trend, and a decreasing trend in some areas, Meanwhile, the whole habitat tended to be medium. ③ Among the three districts, the habitat quality of the Baqiao is the highest, followed by the Weiyang and then the Gaoling. Compared with 2006, their habitat quality in the 2016 increased by 21.05%, 50.01%, and 37.84%, respectively;[Conclusion] The main driving factor of habitat degradation is the artificial habitat including traffic land, residential land, industrial land, and farmland. Natural habitat including wetland and forest is beneficial to the maintenance of biodiversity, but the forest area is slightly insufficient in the reserve.
