“…It was first applied to establish ecological security patterns for biodiversity conservation [17,18]. As the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model is being employed by a growing number of researchers, the method has been gradually applied for urban land use analysis [19,20], ecological pattern analysis [21], and corridor suitability analysis [22][23][24]. The model can calculate the least costly path based on the spatial unit resistance index, which takes full consideration of the geographical and behavioral characteristics with advanced operability and feasibility [25].…”

Heritage corridors are methods to effectively protect and utilize linear cultural heritage based on the concept of regional conservation. The construction of a heritage corridor system is extremely important to preserve the natural environment of the heritage corridor area as well as the history and culture alongside. The majority of the research on the construction of heritage corridors heretofore focused on the generation of corridors, whereas studies on the classification of corridors are relatively limited, without a complete system for the construction of heritage corridors. Therefore, this paper aimed to (1) establish a comprehensive system for the construction of heritage corridors, (2) provide new ideas for the construction of heritage corridors, and (3) guide the scientific development of heritage corridors combining conservation and tourism. In the first place, the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model was applied to analyze the spatial structure of the study area and explore site selection of the heritage corridors; secondly, spatial syntax was used to measure the heritage corridors and determine the level of the heritage corridors; last but not least, the kernel density analysis was used to classify the types of heritage corridors. The present study shows that the heritage corridor system is built in a scientific approach, covering all aspects including construction, protection, and development.

“…Unlike the linear transportation infrastructure and ecological roads in the city, which also play a role in connecting destinations and delivering goods and materials, ecological corridors also play the functions of natural habitat, green open space, human habitat isolation, and human settlement environment beautification and enhancement [16,18], which are an inherent part of the landscape ecological network [16] and one of the concrete embodiments of the ecological environment in the metropolitan areas. Consequently, how to reasonably construct ecological corridors has become an important approach to maintaining connectivity between isolated habitat patches and mitigating habitat fragmentation in metropolitan areas [19].…”

As an inherent part of the landscape ecological network (LEN), the ecological corridor is the bridge between ecological sources and also the key to ensuring urban ecological security. Existing studies on ecological corridors mostly stay in the large scale of landscape patterns and lack guidance for corridor structure design or optimization at the land use level. To provide a reference for the internal landscape structure adjustment of the ecological corridor composed of hybrid land use in the rapidly urbanized areas, first, we constructed the “Comprehensive benefit index of ecological corridors I” by using the three indexes of “Ecological benefit enhancement potential”, “Economic input cost” and “Social coordination cost”. Second, with the goal of maximizing the comprehensive benefits of the three aspects of ecological corridor construction, we established a functional relationship between the converted agricultural land area A, constructed land area C, and index I to determine the optimal proportion of agricultural lands and constructed lands converted into ecological lands within the planning scope of the ecological corridors. The results show that (1) according to the conversion ratio, the ecological corridors in the study area can be divided into three degrees of conversion rate: low, moderate, and high. (2) Among the 66 ecological corridors, the agricultural lands in 26 ecological corridors and the constructed lands in 35 ecological corridors need to be converted into ecological land at a high ratio to ensure the comprehensive benefits of the corresponding corridors. We also put forward suggestions for landscape structure adjustment and optimization for ecological corridors with different conversion degrees. This method can help balance the benefits of different stakeholders in the city and implement the results of ecological corridor planning on a large spatial and temporal scale at the land use level.

“…This is obtained by using fertilizers of organic origin such as animal Manure and by exploiting Crop Rotation to regenerate soil nutrients and microbial diversity ( Schröder et al., 2019 ). Moreover, Artificial ecological corridors, proved to restore ecological environment ( Wei et al., 2023 ), are taken into considerations to understand their long-term impact on restoring soil properties and functions. Finally, the increase of agriculture productivity also requires Novel breeding techniques and genetic materials enabling better adaptation of crops to climate change ( Anand et al., 2023 ).…”
