Spatiotemporal effects of urban sprawl on habitat quality in the Pearl River Delta from 1990 to 2018

Abstract Since the implementation of the Chinese economic reforms. The habitat quality of coastal has gradually deteriorated with economic development, but the concept of "ecological construction" has slowed the negative trend. For quantitative analysis of the correlation between the Pearl...
