Reviewer 2 Report
This study discusses construction of landscape ecological security patterns in the study area using morphological spatial pattern analysis, landscape connectivity, and minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model. The authors discussed the methods used and presented the subsequent findings. I have two questions:
- How did the authors calculate resistance factors? More detailed discussion regarding this is needed.
- Similarly, I did not find details about how AHP was conducted to assign weights. Who were selected to do the pairwise comparison and why? These need to be discussed in detail considering how AHP is used in this study.
