Ecological Space Management and Control Zoning of Giant Panda National Park : A Perspective on Ecosystem Services and Land Use

Since China proposed building a national park system in 2017, the establishment of a planning system for nature reserves, with national parks as the main body, is being actively promoted around the country. Among them, scientific ecological space management and control zoning (ESMCZ) is an important link in maintaining the ecological stability of national parks. How to zone national parks and how to improve the precision of zoning has become a new task for national parks. Therefore, this study takes the Giant Panda National Park as the study area, takes ecosystem services (ES) and land use/cover change as the research perspective, integrates the InVEST model, PLUS model and BBN model, and builds a set of ESMCZ spatial zoning framework based on raster scale, dividing the study area into strictly protected zone, ecological buffer zone, ecological control zone and controlled development zone. The results showed that: (1) The spatial heterogeneity of ES in the study area was significant, and the effect of a single factor on ecosystem services was most pronounced. (2) Large variation in area for different land uses under natural development scenarios(NDS) and ecological protection scenarios(EPS). (3) The strictly protected zone is the most extensive, followed by the ecological buffer zone, ecological control zone, and control development zone in order, in line with the national park zoning planning requirements. (4) The ESMCZ framework is reasonable regarding the construction process and zoning results. This framework and zoning results provide a theoretical basis for the optimization and management of the zoning of the Giant Panda National Park, and also provide a more refined method for the national secondary zoning
