Effects of ecosystems preservation on economic growth in China’s coastal region: Multilevel modelling and exploration

Ecosystems conservation is vital to social-economic and environmental sustainability. The relationship between ecosystems preservation and economic growth has been a popular topic worldwide. However, the economic effects of ecosystems preservation across multiple levels are unclear. This study analy...
