| 英文摘要 | International biodiversity conservation prioritization efforts often focus on biodiversity hotspots or valuable species. However, for most parts of the world, comprehensive species data with acceptable quality are still scarce to support regional priority evaluations. To model the factors that favor a high/important degree of biodiversity and threats; in this study, we provide an alternative conservation priority approach to use when species data are insufficient. Based on a Landsat-derived forest cover map of 2010 of the Eastern Himalaya of China, we defined forest nodes, measured and delineated their importance with the connectivity metric dPC at regional and sub regional scales. Based on a deforestation map of 2000 to 2010, we simulated deforestation from 2010 to 2030 using the Dinamica EGO software at multiple scales, and calculated the threatened degree of each forest node at an optimal scale. We then ranked the conservation priorities by coupling the measurements of the connectivity importance values and simulated threatened degree of each important forest node. Six forest patches (2.5% of remaining forest in 2010) were ranked as conservation priority patch-I and II. The unprotected parts are recommended to be expanded into or established as new nature reserves. Although species information was not used, the identified forest patches accommodated existing nature reserves (48% overlapped) in this region. As a fast and efficient assessment approach, with outcomes that are valuable for regional conservation planning, this method could be widely used for any forest dominant regions when field data is insufficient to identify conservation priorities at a fine scale.

| 资助信息 | This studywassupported byfundsfrom theNationalNature Science Foundation of China (31272327, 31300453), and the Ministry of Fig. 4. The 67 important forest nodes are represented by the spots (same color means at same dispersal distance) on entire (A) or sub-regional (B) scale. After data normalization of dPC scores and threatened degree, important forest nodes are identified as conservation priority patch-I (red ones) and II (blue ones) by the criteria of dispersal distances and scales (C). 133 L.
