The construction of an ecological security pattern (ESP) is important undertaking in ensuring the stability ecosystem and long-term growth humanity. Existing research, However, existing research often overlooks quantification policy implications ESP development. objective this paper was to bridge gap by integrating analysis (PQA) with nature, society into providing targeted management recommendations. texts were quantified reusable data, which served as a foundation for selection indicators optimization patterns, using machine learning techniques. methodology "Patch-matrix-corridor" used create spatially correlated pattern. Through factor Random Forest (RF), impact each indicator on thoroughly examined, offering substantial support development planning. Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area(GBA) selected study area, found that: (1) proposed framework PQA based-ESP could provide useful eco-management tools. (2) Policy adaptability had environmental GBA, but service index has highest impact. (3) Applying framework, we identified total 1,993 km2 sources, 23 key corridors, 58 general 31 nodes. An improved ESP, characterized "one circle, two bays, three rivers, multiple areas, nodes," constructed GBA. (4) Given multi-scale analysis, tailored recommendations city study's findings offer actionable solutions international community facing growing challenges.

Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely implemented tools for long‐term ocean conservation and resource management. Assessments of MPA performance have largely focused on specific ecosystems individually rarely evaluated across multiple either in an individual or network. We the 59 MPAs California's large network, which encompasses 4 primary (surf zone, kelp forest, shallow reef, deep reef) bioregions, identified attributes that best explain performance. Using a meta‐analytic framework, we ability to conserve fish biomass, richness, diversity. At scale network 3 regions, biomass species targeted by fishing was positively associated with level regulatory protection greater inside no‐take MPAs, whereas not had similar open fishing. In contrast, richness diversity were as strongly enhanced protection. The key features effectiveness included age, preimplementation fisheries pressure, habitat Important drivers single consistent spanning regions ecosystems. With international targets aimed at protecting 30% world's oceans 2030, design assessment frameworks should consider ecologically relevant scales, from networks.
