四川山鹧鸪Arborophila rufipectus属鸡形目雉科山鹧鸪属,是我国特产珍稀鸟类,国家一级重点保护野生动物,IUCN濒危物种。本文应用卫星遥感影像解译技术对该物种的现实栖息地和潜在栖息地进行了分析和预测。结果表明,现存四川山鹧鸪分布格局自四川中南部向云南东北延伸,跨越金沙江,呈现西北-东南走向,分布区涉及大相岭山系南缘、小相岭山系东缘、凉山山系东北部、乌蒙山山系西部,行政区域涉及2省5市(州)19县(区)。栖息地由10片现实栖息地和36片潜在栖息地组成,总面积约5869 km2。“甘洛-金口河-峨边-马边-美姑”片和“雷波-马边-屏山”片是四川省境内呈南北布局的两大核心分布区,“绥江-永善-水富-盐津-大关”片为云南省境内的核心分布区。
The Sichuan-hill partridge (Arborophila rufipectus), which is endemic to China, has been listed as an endan-gered species in China and IUCN red books. Our researches indicted that the Sichuan hill-partridge distributes from south-centre Sichuan to northeast Yunnan, including south edge of Daxiangling Mountains, east edge of Xiaoxiangling Mountains, northeast of Liangshan Mountains Chain, and west of Wumengshan Mountains. Relevant administrative areas involve 2 provinces, 5 cities/prefectures, and 19 counties/districts. The whole area is composed by 10 patches of occupied habitat and 36 patches of potential habitat, and the total area is about 5869 km2. Two patches socalled “Ganluo-Jinkouhe-Ebian-Mabian- Leibo” and “ Leibo-Mabian-Pingshan” are the core areas of Sichuan-hill partridge habitat in Sichuan, while “Suijiang-Yong- shan-Shuifu-Yanjin-Daguan” is the core area in Yunnan.
