Ecological security driving mechanisms and optimization of zoning in Chinese urban agglomerations: A case study of the central plains urban agglomeration by Jinyuan Zhang, Xuning Qiao, Yongju Yang, Liang Liu, Yalong Li, Shengnan Zhao

“…Spatial disparities in ecological security were relatively small, and counties with lower ecological security levels tended to show greater clustering; (2) The explanatory power of the driving factors is ranked as follows: human factors > natural factors > landscape factors. Interaction detection factors exhibit varying degrees of dual-factor or nonlinear enhancement, with the combined strength of positive effects being greater than that of negative effects; (3) The spatial distribution characteristics of ecological security zones in the CPUA align with those of ecological security conditions. …”
