Correlation between human activities and ecosystem assets in the Yellow River Basin. (a) shows Pearson correlation coefficients and p-values from 2001 to 2020; (b) shows distribution and proportion of cross-correlation coefficients; (c) and (d) show spatial distribution of cross-correlation coefficients in 2001 and 2020, respectively; (e) and (f) show data density and distribution trends of two variables in 2001 and 2020, respectively. The map was created by the authors using ArcGIS Pro 3.1 (https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/).
