Abstract:Amid Guangdong Province's swift urban growth, our research delves into the habitat quality's spatiotemporal trends and underlying factors over the 2000-2018 period, employing the InVEST model and MGWR, grounded on comprehensive land-use data. Results indicate a relatively constant habitat quality index, averaging from 0.78 to 0.8, yet with marked regional variations: the north showing higher values than the southern, especially in the Pearl River Delta. The analysis highlights the positive role of natural elem… Show more
