“…The quality of the eco-environment in China from 2000-2017 tended to improve, which as related to the Chinese government's attention to eco-environment protection and restoration. Because of the different evaluation indexes and methods, this result differed from the conclusion [38]. Satellite data from 2000 to 2017 show that due to the land use management methods of China and India, the two countries have made great contributions to the expansion of the earth's vegetation area and ecological restoration [39], and the conclusion of this paper is basically consistent with this study.…”

The eco-environment is dynamic and shows a continuous process of long-term change. It is helpful for policymakers to know the status of the regional eco-environment through accurate evaluations of the history and current situation of the regional eco-environment. The remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) model of China was established in this study by using four indexes: wetness, greenness, dryness, and heat. Knowledge granulation of the RSEIs were carried out, and a method to determine the weights of the knowledge granulation entropy of the indexes based on their characteristics was proposed. This study used Moderate Resolution Image Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data from the Google Cloud Computing Platform to study and calculate the eco-environmental quality of China from 2000–2017. The overall eco-environmental quality in China tended to improve from 2000–2017, although there were large areas of ecological degradation from 2009–2014. The eco-environment of eastern China was better than that of western China. Most of the national ecological areas were third-level ecological areas, which had moderate environmental quality. Dryness was the most important factor affecting the quality of the eco-environment, followed by greenness, which reflected the increasing environmental damage caused by human activities in China in recent years.

“…Among the six basic air pollutants, this paper selects the concentrations of SO 2 , PM 10 , and NO 2 to reflect air pollution. This decision was made for two reasons: (1) The continuity and integrality of the data. This study collected data spanning from 2000 to 2019, yet PM 2.5 and O 3 have only been monitored in China since 2013.…”

“…However, this development has been accompanied by the excessive consumption of resources and the deterioration of environmental quality. For example, industrialization has had a deleterious impact on ambient air quality [1,2]. Many factors related to economic growth have an impact on pollutant emissions, such as fossil energy consumption, electricity consumption, urbanization, and globalization [3,4].…”

The Chinese government has implemented a number of environmental policies to promote the continuous improvement of air quality while considering economic development. Scientific assessment of the impact of environmental policies on the relationship between air pollution and economic growth can provide a scientific basis for promoting the coordinated development of these two factors. This paper uses the Tapio decoupling theory to analyze the relationship between regional economic growth and air pollution in key regions of air pollution control in China—namely, the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region and surrounding areas (BTHS), the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), and the Pearl River Delta (PRD)—based on data of GDP and the concentrations of SO2, PM10, and NO2 for 31 provinces in China from 2000 to 2019. The results show that the SO2, PM10, and NO2 pollution in the key regions show strong and weak decoupling. The findings additionally indicate that government policies have played a significant role in improving the decoupling between air pollution and economic development. The decoupling between economic growth and SO2 and PM10 pollution in the BTHS, YRD, and PRD is better than that in other regions, while the decoupling between economic growth and NO2 pollution has not improved significantly in these regions. To improve the relationship between economic growth and air pollution, we suggest that the governments of China and other developing countries should further optimize and adjust the structure of industry, energy, and transportation; apply more stringent targets and measures in areas of serious air pollution; and strengthen mobile vehicle pollution control.

“…Evaluating the quality of regional eco-environment We have evaluated the eco-environmental quality of China and its provinces, cities, and regions at five time points, and the evaluation results are as shown in Table 1.Here, EEQ represents the regional eco-environmental quality index; the bigger the index is, the better the environmental quality will be (Sun et al 2013). …”
