"茶马古道"是一个兼具文化与自然双重遗产价值的复杂巨型线性遗产区域，具有孤立性、分散性和相对集聚性等特性。本研究立足于生态文化遗产廊道的保护，以该区域生态系统的社会、经济和生态效益整体优化为目标，通过将景观生态学中的景观异质性等相关理论以及系统保护规划方法和生态网络分析方法引入风景园林学科，构建基于数学模型可信度与准确性的网络保护格局。并采用空间叙事学等方法，取得文化多样性和生物多样性关键节点（地区）判别、潜在生态文化遗产廊道的定量表征等突破性进展。探索基于多维连接性的多预案保护格局对比分析，将"茶马古道"遗产廊道的特殊性与生态文化遗产廊道的一般性有机结合。通过研究来丰富遗产保护中生态文化廊道保护网络格局构建的理论基础，以期拓宽上述方法在多行业、多领域中的应用研究。借此检验景观生态学中的理论和假说，同时也可加深、拓广风景园林学的理论基础，为生态文化遗产廊道的保护和管理提供理论、方法和工具。

Ancient Tea Horse Road is a complex giant linear cultural heritage having both a cultural and natural dual heritage value, it possesses isolatism, dispersity and the relative clustering. This research focuses on protection of the ecological culture heritage corridor, overall optimization of the regional ecological system about the social, economic and ecological benefits as the goal. Introducing the landscape heterogeneity in landscape ecology and other related theory and system protection planning method and ecological network analysis method into the landscape architecture discipline, will construct the network protection pattern based on credibility and accuracy of mathematical model. And use of space narrative method to obtain distinguishing at the key nodes (region) of biological diversity and cultural diversity and the potential ecological heritage corridor quantitative characterization breakthrough. Explore the comparison and analysis of a number of pre-arranged planning to protect pattern based on multidimensional connectivity, organic combination the particularity of Ancient Tea Horse Road heritage corridor and general ecological culture heritage corridor. The research will enrich the research on the construction of ecological culture corridor protection network pattern in theory, as well as will broaden application research above method in multi industry and multi domain. Not only can test theory and hypothesis in landscape ecology, but also will deepen and outreach theory foundation for landscape architecture, and provides the theory, methods and tools for the protection and management of ecological cultural heritage corridor.
