Recognition of ecological security patterns based on the geographical detector model

Asian Journal of Water, Environment and Pollution
Constructing a regional ecological security pattern (ESP) is essential for maintaining ecosystem health and enhancing ecosystem service functions. However, most existing ESP studies focus only on future scenarios and lack an integrated analysis of historical and future conditions. The selection of resistance factors usually depends on expert experience,
