黄河口国家公园候选区鸿雁种群分布特征及其保护对策

Population distribution patterns and conservation strategies of swan geese in the Yellow River Estuary National Park Candidate Area

  • 摘要: 黄河入海口拥有我国暖温带最具代表性的河口湿地生态系统, 是国际候鸟迁飞通道上不可替代的关键节点, 目前正在创建国家公园。为支撑国家公园季节性差别化管控、提升候鸟保护成效, 以鸿雁(Anser cygnoides)为对象, 整合卫星追踪数据和观测计数数据构建综合物种分布模型, 分析其在黄河口国家公园候选区的种群时空动态规律并揭示主要影响因素。结果表明: (1)鸿雁大规模种群每年11月至12月在黄河口停歇, 主要分布在南部片区黄河河道周边。(2)鸿雁种群分布受到像元、斑块、景观等不同尺度的环境变量影响, 且在不同月份具有一致性。坡度、距水源距离、月均归一化植被指数(NDVI)、斑块平均最近距离、道路密度、芦苇地面积百分比等环境变量对鸿雁种群分布具有明显或较明显的负向影响; 斑块形状指数、辛普森多样性指数、滩涂面积百分比、农田面积百分比、河流面积百分比、海拔等环境变量则呈现明显或较明显的正向影响。(3)核心保护区覆盖了约43%的鸿雁种群, 在种群密度最高、占总数80%的鸿雁保护关键区中, 仍有23.2—78.2 km2的面积位于一般控制区, 主要为黄河河道以南的滩涂和芦苇地。建议对一般控制区的鸿雁保护关键区在停歇期按照核心保护区要求严格控制人类活动, 在非停歇期优先修复盐碱化滩涂和芦苇地, 完善生态补偿机制减少养殖坑塘、农田权益所有者的损失。

     

    Abstract: The Yellow River Estuary hosts China′s most representative warm-temperate estuarine wetland ecosystem and serves as an irreplaceable key node on international bird migration routes. Currently, the Yellow River Estuary is preparing to establish a national park. National parks represent the protected area category with the highest ecological value and the strongest conservation intensity in China. To support seasonally differentiated management within national park and enhance conservation outcomes for migratory birds, this study focused on swan geese (Anser cygnoides), integrating satellite tracking data with field observation counts to construct an integrated species distribution model. The study analyzed the spatiotemporal dynamics of swan geese within the Yellow River Estuary National Park Candidate Area and identified the primary influencing factors. The results were as follows. (1) During November and December each year, large flocks of swan geese stopped over at the Yellow River Estuary, primarily distributed in areas surrounding the southern Yellow River channel. (2) Swan goose distribution was jointly influenced by environmental variables at pixel, patch, and landscape scales. The effects of each variable remained stable across months. Slope, distance to water sources, monthly Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), mean nearest-neighbor patch distance, road density, and reed wetland proportion exerted strong or moderate negative effects on swan goose distribution. Patch shape index, Simpson diversity index, mudflat area proportion, farmland area proportion, river channel area proportion, and elevation exerted strong or moderate positive effects. (3) The core protected area covered approximately 43% of the swan goose population. Among priority conservation areas accommodating 80% of the population, 23.2—78.2 km2 fell within general control zones. These areas consisted primarily of mudflats and reed wetlands on the southern side of the Yellow River channel. It is recommended that strict control of human disturbance should be implemented in key Swan Goose habitats within general control zones during the stopover period, and salinized mudflats and reed wetlands should be restored as a priority during non-stopover period. Moreover, ecological compensation mechanisms should be improved to reduce economic losses for stakeholders associated with aquaculture ponds and farmland.
