Abstract
This study investigates the synergistic interplay between high-quality urban development and ecosystem services in the mid-lower Yellow River Basin， analyze its temporal and spatial evolution characteristics and influencing factors， and provide scientific basis for regional sustainable development. Based on the comprehensive evaluation index system of high-quality development and the evaluation results of InVEST model， combined with the revised coupling coordination model and geographical detectors， this study systematically analyzes the coupling coordination relationship between high-quality development and ecosystem services in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River from 2007 to 2022 and its driving factors. The results show that： ① From 2007 to 2022， the high-quality urban development in the study area and the comprehensive level of ecosystem services showed an overall upward trend. The comprehensive level of high-quality development presented a bimodal distribution with higher concentrations in the northern and southern regions， contrasting with lower values in the central-western zones， while the comprehensive level of ecosystem services presented a spatial feature of "high in the west and low in the middle and east." ② During the study period， the coupling coordination degree between high-quality urban development and ecosystem services in the study area demonstrated a sustained increasing trend， but it was still mainly in the transitional stage and had not yet reached the coordination stage. The spatial distribution presented a pattern of "high in the east and low in the middle，" and the spatial agglomeration patterns were mainly high-high and low-low， with obvious regional and heterogeneity. ③ Average annual precipitation and soil erodibility were the main factors that affected the coupling and coordination of high-quality urban development and ecosystem services in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The synergistic effects between high-quality development and ecosystem services in the study area exhibited significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity. It is necessary to focus on the key driving factors such as average annual precipitation and soil erodibility， implement differentiation strategies to improve the level of coupling and coordination， and facilitate the synergistic advancement of regional sustainable development and ecological conservation.
