Evaluation of ecological geological environment carrying capacity and analysis of driving mechanisms based on normal cloud model and geodetector model by Rongkun Dai, Changlai Xiao, Xiujuan Liang, Lin Jia, Yi Jia, Jiarui Yao, Weifei Yang, Jiang Zhang, Linzuo Zhang, Weifeng Li

“…Concurrently, a coupled model of geographic detectors and geographically weighted regression was established to recognize the spatial heterogeneity and driving mechanisms of the ecological geological environment system. The findings demonstrate that: (1) The overall EGECC in the Luoyang region of the YRB fluctuates upward, with the eastern area displaying more favorable conditions compared to the western region. (2) Over these twenty-two years, the geological environment system experienced initial deterioration followed by improvement, the ecological environment system remained relatively stable, and social and economic development continuously strengthened. (3) Landform types, elevation, human activity impact index, population density, and geological disaster susceptibility are the main driving elements for the assessment of the ecological geological environment system. …”
