Multidimensional analysis and enhancement strategies for ecological environment quality at the county level under dual carbon goals: a case study of Shaanxi Province, China by Jianfeng Li, Jianfeng Li, Jianfeng Li, Yongxin Hu, Yongxin Hu, Jian Li, Liangyan Yang, Liangyan Yang, Jie Yan

“…The results indicate that: 1) From 2000 to 2020, the overall EEQ in Shaanxi Province showed a fluctuating upward trend, improving from a moderate level to a good level, although some counties experienced slight degradation from 2010 to 2020. 2) The spatial distribution of county-level EEQ displayed a “low-high-low-high” gradient from north to south, indicating superior ecological conditions in the southern and central-northern counties, while northern regions faced significant ecological challenges. 3) The future trend of EEQ in Shaanxi Province is expected to be one of continuous improvement, although attention must be paid to the ongoing degradation risks in highly urbanized areas. 4) The spatial differentiation of county-level EEQ is primarily driven by climate factors and influenced by the synergistic effects of multiple factors. …”
