| description | Rapid urbanization has placed the sustainable development of some watershed ecosystems in jeopardy. In order to achieve sustainable urban development, it is vital to identify the coupling mechanisms between urbanization and the ecological environment quality. This study establishes indicators to evaluate the Jiulong River Basin’s urbanization and ecological environment systems. These are utilized to analyze spatial and temporal changes and build a coupling coordination degree model. This research investigates the level of development coordination between urbanization and the ecological environment quality in the basin. The data sources include nighttime lighting and Landsat data from 2000 to 2020. The findings indicated the following: 1) Urbanization levels in the basin rise annually, and the years 2010–2020 represent a stage of high urbanization growth. In addition, the development levels are spatially heterogeneous, with high levels in the south and low levels in the north. 2) The ecological environment quality category for the basin is generally Excellent; however, many facets of the climate and human activity drastically lowered this grade in 2005. 3) In the basin, there is a basic coordination relationship between urbanization and environmental quality, but the number of cities falling into the moderate imbalance category has grown. 4) Increasing the urbanization level raises the coordination between urbanization and the ecological environment more than improving environmental quality, but antagonistic effects make it necessary to strengthen the protection of the ecological environment alongside economic development. From the viewpoint of counties, this study examines the long-term interactions between the ecological environment and urbanization in Fujian Province, China. Recommendations for balancing urban development and environmental concerns in coastal watersheds are presented, providing references to the fact that the future of this area of China can be sustainable. |
