Advancements of the researches on biodiversity loss mechanisms

“…New trails and activities of tourists inevitably affect the ecosystem and biodiversity. The development of mountain tourism has led to the continuous encroachment and encroachment of the effective habitats of species in nature reserves [4][5][6][7] , and the fragmentation of habitat patches constitutes the greatest threat to mountain biodiversity [8][9][10] .In China more than 22% of the natural reserve area has been ruined due to unscientific tourism development, and 11% has shown resource degradation [11,12] . Land is the basis for tourism development, and exploiting tourism resources and constructing tourism infrastructure can change the surface structure, land, soil and vegetation， and the corel change is the land use.…”

The rapid development of the tourism industry in mountain areas has resulted in intense changes in land use structure and exerts a strong influence on terrestrial ecosystems. This paper takes Luanchuan County (typical mountainous terrain in western Henan Province, China) as an example and employs land use data from different times and spaces and the binary logistic method to study tourism land spatial variation and influence factors in mountain areas. The research shows that: (1) spatial variation in land use in scenic spots reveals a chain reaction of land use type transformation caused by construction land expansion, a key driving force of spatial variation in land use and land use type transformation, and (2) the changes in tourism land use types result from human utilization and development of land for economic benefits. The key influence factors of spatial variation in land use are altitude; gradient; and the distance to rivers, highways and villages. (3) A plan of tourism land management and control should be established with construction land as the key indicator.

“…Therefore, the exploitation and ecological construction of mountain resources are at the top of the list for sustainable development in China [3]. The development of mountain tourism has led to continuous encroachment on the effective habitats of species in nature reserves [4][5][6][7], and the fragmentation of habitat patches constitutes the greatest threat to mountain biodiversity [8][9][10]. In China, more than 22% of the natural reserve area has been ruined due to unscientifi c tourism development, and 11% has shown resource degradation [11,12].…”

The rapid development of the tourism industry in mountainous areas has resulted in intense changes in land use structure and has exerted a strong infl uence on terrestrial ecosystems. This paper takes Luanchuan County (with typical mountainous terrain in western Henan Province, China) as an example and employs land use data from different times and areas and the binary logistic method to study the spatial variation in tourism land and infl uencing factors in mountainous areas. The research shows that (1) the spatial variation in land use in scenic spots reveals a chain reaction of land use type transformation caused by construction land expansion, a key driving force of spatial variation in land use and land use type transformation, and (2) the changes in tourism land use types result from human utilization and development of land for economic benefi ts. The key infl uencing factors of the spatial variation in land use are elevation, gradient, and the distances to rivers, highways and villages. (3) A plan for tourism land management and control should be established with construction land as the key indicator.
