摘　　要：The Chinese Grouse (Tetrastes sewerzowi) is a rare, endemic bird in China, inhabiting conifer-dominated mountain forests. Both the natural fragmentation and heavy cutting of mature forests have resulted in patchy grouse habitats. We used SPOT (XS-sensor) satellite imagery to discriminate between open land and conifer or broadleaf forests. The area analyzed is about 120000 ha in size and includes the Lianhuashan Nature Reserve and the Yeliguan Forestry Park. We identiifed 4111 ha of mature coniferous forests in 229 patches (maximum 332 ha, mean 18 ha) as the habitat used by Chinese Grouse throughout the year. We examined 31 forest islands of different sizes and degrees of isolation for the presence of Chinese Grouse. We used generalized linear models (GLM) with binomial error structure and logit link function to estimate the probability of Chinese Grouse occupancy in a forest fragment. Habitat patch size (hs) and distance to the next occupied fragment (doc) were used as predictor variables, important for occupancy. Small habitat islands were disproportionately less likely to be occupied than large, nearby habitats. There was a clear speciifc habitat size of about 40 ha, above which habitat fragments were occupied more often. Suitable habitat fragments isolated by more than 2 km appeared to be inaccessible to Chinese Grouse. The results have been used in reforestation projects to establish linking corridors in the study area.斑尾榛鸡(Tetrastes sewerzowi)是生活在高山针叶林中的中国特有鸟种,种群数量稀少。自然形成的斑块生境和原始林的过度采伐导致斑尾榛鸡的栖息地出现严重破碎化。本研究利用SPOT卫星遥感影像数据,对包括甘肃莲花山国家级自然保护区和冶力关森林公园的12万hm2的研究地区进行了栖息地分类,主要分为开阔地、针叶林及阔叶林地。共划定了229个、共4111 hm2成熟针叶林斑块(最大斑块面积332 hm2,平均18 hm2),作为斑尾榛鸡可全年利用的栖息地。通过对31个不同大小及隔离度的森林斑块是否有斑尾榛鸡生存的调查,利用广义线性模型的二项误差分布和Logit连接函数来估计斑尾榛鸡在破碎化森林中的占有率。结果发现斑块大小、被斑尾榛鸡占有的最临近斑块之间的距离是估算占有率的有效变量,较小的斑块内有斑尾榛鸡的概率远低于较大且相邻的斑块的概率,而超过40 hm2的斑块被占有的概率明显较高。一般来说斑尾榛鸡不能在距离超过2 km的斑块间迁徙扩散。本研究对如何在研究区域内造林并建立有效的生态廊道提供了理论依据。
