Abstract: The spatial variation patterns of various vegetation habitat suitability categories under global and local scales are main characteristic and symbol for vegetation habitat management and restoration in the upper reaches of Min River. Based on spatial distributions of four class vegetation habitat suitability categories (class one was suitable vegetation habitat whose habitat suitability index was highest, class two was sub-suitable, class three was unsuitable, class four was worst suitable whose habitat suitability index was lowest), in this study we established a lacunarity index and used multilevel bayesian models to quantify spatial cluster and variation of diverse vegetation habitat suitability categories from global (the whole upper reaches of Min River) and local scales (five counties including Heishui County, Li County, Songpan County, Mao County, and Wenchuan County). The detailed results were as following:(1) The maximum lacunarity indices of comprehensive class (Ⅰ~Ⅳ), class three (Ⅲ), and class four (Ⅳ) occurred in the Wenchuan County, the spatial variation scale of above three habitat suitability categories were 3000 m (30 times of grid size, the grid size is 100 m), 2900 m, and 2800 m, respectively. It is attributed to driving factors including the lower elevation, flat topography, higher precipitation and lower evaporation. The class two (Ⅱ) and class three (Ⅲ) appeared in the Songpan County owing to higher altitude, steeper slope, lower precipitation, and higher evaporation. The spatial variation scale of previous two habitat suitability categories were 3000 m and 2800 m, respectively. It was suggested that the habitat management of Wenchuan and Sonpan counties was sensitive to sampling grid size (habitat management unit) because of the spatial variation of different habitat suitability categories represented by topographical, meteorological, soil, and vegetation driving environmental factors. The habitat suitability category of maximum lacunarity index appeared in Heishui County, Li County, Wenchuan County, and whole watershed was class Ⅰ. However, the habitat suitability category of maximum lacunarity index appeared in Mao County, and Songpan County was class Ⅳ. (2) The maximum lacunarity dimensions of Ⅰ~Ⅳ, Ⅰ and Ⅱ occurred in the Wenchuan County, Songpan County and Li County, respectively, which meant their spatial structures were in the discrete state. The maximum lacunarity dimensions of Ⅲ and Ⅳ occurred in Mao County. The county administrative unit had the largest impact on spatial variation and character scale of class Ⅱ and had smallest impact on spatial variation and character scale of class Ⅰ~Ⅳ. The analysis of spatial variation of vegetation habitat suitability could provide the theories for vegetation habitat management in the upper reaches of Min River.

Key words: habitat suitability, spatial variation pattern, lacunarity index, lacunarity dimension
