    DEM and ecological function zoning of the regionSource: DEM 90 m data and Chinese ecological function zoning data were derived from the Data Center for Resources and Environmental Sciences of CAS.Notes: Windbreak and sand fixation is the ecological function zone at northern foot of the Yinshan Mountain-Hunshandake Sandy Land. Soil conservation is the ecological function zone of the Taihang Mountains. Water source conservation A is the ecological function zone for West Liaohe River source conservation. Water source conservation B is the ecological function zone for Beijing-Tianjin water source conservation.
