| Summary: | The Henan section of the Sha Ying River Basin, as the core agricultural area of the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration (CPUA), plays a significant role in promoting regional green and sustainable development through the coordinated management of water–energy–carbon (WEC). This study takes the Henan section of the Sha Ying River Basin as a case study to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of the region from 2010 to 2022, establish an evaluation system to assess the level of coupled coordination development, and utilize the gray correlation model to identify key influencing factors. The results show a fluctuating downward trend in WEC consumption, with low coupling coordination transitioning from high coordination to moderate imbalance. Key factors influencing coupling coordination include water consumption per 10,000 CNY of GDP, agricultural industry structure, and year-end population. Spatial heterogeneity in WEC coupling coordination factors was observed across cities. This research provides a scientific basis for understanding ecosystem dynamics in agricultural cities and supports differentiated environmental policies for sustainable regional development. |
