Response mechanism of ecological environment quality variation to multifactor coupling at Spatiotemporal scales by Xi Chen, Yuqing Fang, Yufeng He, Wen Dai, Ling Jiang, Hong Wei, Dong Wang, Chun Wang

“…The results show the following: (1) Over the past two decades, the EEQ has consistently achieved moderate to good levels and has exhibited an overall trend of improvement. (2) At the spatial scale, the distribution pattern of the RSEILA in Anhui Province was characterized by high values in the south and low values in the north, which was closely associated with the natural geographic conditions and land use patterns. (3) Multi-factor coupling exerted a significant spatiotemporal scale effect on the drivers of EEQ levels. …”
