An investigation into the zoning of ecosystem sensitivity control areas in Mentougou District (Beijing, China).

ABSTRACT: To achieve a more precise delineation of ecosystem sensitivity control areas, this study examines the Mentougou District in Beijing and introduces the Ecosystem Sensitivity Control Area Classification Method (ESCACM). This novel approach combines single-factor sensitivity analysis, multi-factor comprehensive sensitivity assessments, and strategies for zoning based on various ecological scenarios. The study categorizes the region into three specific zones: first-level management and control areas, second-level management and control areas, and non-management and control areas. The key findings are: (1) By systematically categorizing relevant factors, the method creates independent, non-overlapping groups, effectively reducing dimensionality. (2) After conducting a comprehensive sensitivity
