Spatiotemporal Differentiation and Influencing Factors of Urban Land Green Use Efficiency in Jiangsu Province from Perspective of High-quality Development by Yuhao Feng, Wen Tong, Zijie Li, Haidi Zhu, Qun Wu

“…The overall spatial distribution could be characterized as "low in the north and high in the south, low in the west and high in the east". ② The fluctuation difference of urban land green use efficiency was obvious in Jiangsu Province. Urban land green use efficiency in northern and central Jiangsu Province increased first and then decreased, while in southern Jiangsu urban land green use efficiency decreased first and then increased. ③ Forest coverage rate, park green space area, foreign direct investment, and industrial structure promoted green use efficiency of urban land, while the level of urban development produced a U-shaped nonlinear effect on green use efficiency. …”
