Regional disparities and dynamic adaptation in the forest health-based industry and ecological environment: A case study of Fujian Province, China by Wenyu Chen, Shuhan Yu, Xuwang Jiang, Liyu Zhan

“…In contrast, regions like Nanping and Xiamen show lower indices, suggesting a need for greater policy support and resource allocation to improve adaptability. (2)The adaptability index’s spatial distribution and migration patterns reveal cyclical spatial dispersion changes from 2013 to 2023, closely associated with economic development strategies, environmental protection policies, and climate change. (3) A spatial cluster analysis of the adaptability index reveals significant shifts in adaptability levels across most regions, especially between 2015 and 2018, reflecting the complex dynamics of ecological adaptability. (4) Sanming City and Fuzhou District demonstrate effective coordination between the forest health-based industry and the ecological environment. …”
