Coupling Analysis of Ecosystem Services Value and Economic Development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt: A Case Study in Hunan Province, China

Sound ecosystems are a precondition for the sustainable survival and development of human society. However, ecological deterioration caused by socioeconomic activities can result in increasing pressure on ecosystems. Exploration spatial interaction between ecosystem economic under background high-quality green is, therefore, necessary. In this study, we analyzed services value (ESV) with coupling index method based high-resolution remote-sensing land-use data statistical Hunan Province from 2000 to 2018. The results revealed that ESV provided decreased US$1256.166 million areas high per unit area were distributed mountainous areas, while low major cities their surroundings. bivariate autocorrelation analysis showed had significant dependence development. addition, documented relationship density was mostly conflict potential crisis states. These provide important guidance coordinated regional economy conservation.
