Coupling coordination between integrated transport–shipping system and nearshore marine ecology in China’s coastal cities: spatiotemporal evolution and XGBoost–SHAP-based mechanism identification
Achieving a dynamic equilibrium between integrated transport-shipping systems (ITS) and nearshore marine ecology (NME) is paramount for the sustainable development of China’s coastal cities. This study, utilizing longitudinal panel data from 53 cities (2013-2024), assesses the coupling coordination degree (CCD) between these systems. Employing the XGBoost–SHAP approach, we identify key influencing mechanisms, revealing that urbanization and trade dependence significantly shape CCD outcomes. For further exploration of related data-driven approaches, see our article, "Machine learning predictions for microbial eukaryotic plankton."
The digital economy and marine new-quality productivity: unraveling the N-shaped relationship
The burgeoning digital economy's influence on marine productivity in China presents a complex, and previously understudied, relationship. This study, utilizing panel data from 2011-2021, rigorously investigates the connection between the digital economy and marine new-quality productivity (MNQP) across 11 coastal provinces. Findings reveal a significant N-shaped nonlinear relationship, demonstrating that the digital economy's impact on MNQP varies across development stages.
Research on the mechanism of low-altitude economy’s impact on marine economy quality and development countermeasures―threshold effect based on green finance
Recent research rigorously examines the complex interplay between the burgeoning low-altitude economy and the quality of China’s marine economy, spanning 2011-2023. Utilizing advanced econometric models, the study establishes a significant positive correlation, while also identifying crucial threshold effects mediated by technological innovation and green finance. Findings reveal that while the low-altitude economy demonstrably drives marine economic quality, its impact is moderated by these factors.
