Conservation outcome assessment of Wuyishan protected areas based on InVEST and propensity score matching by Xue Zhang, Lingyun Liao, Yiyang Huang, Qinhua Fang, Siren Lan, Mengwei Chi

“…This suggests that, although the habitat quality in the Wuyishan PAs may have decreased, the establishment of PAs can still help mitigate habitat quality degradation. (3) A consistently negative correlation at statistic level was observed between altitude, slope and habitat quality in Wuyishan PAs in the period of 1980–2020. Population density was consistently strongly correlated with changes in the high-quality habitat area over the past forty years. …”
