The aim is to develop a reliable ecological network to address climate change and biodiversity loss by improving structural element identification and optimization.
Utilized the self-organizing map (SOM) model to identify ecological sources.
Employed the XGBoost-SHAP model to optimize resistance surface weights and reduce subjectivity.
Constructed the ecological network using the Linkage Mapper tool.
Compared performance of SOM with traditional morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA).
SOM identified three times more ecological sources compared to MSPA.
Elevation was the most influential factor on the resistance surface, contributing over 40%.
Integrated ecological network (IEN) showed greater robustness than the structural ecological network (SEN).
Twenty-two additional ecological corridors were created, significantly improving network resilience.
