The maintenance of critical natural capital stocks lays a basis for achieving sustainable development across the globe. However, rapid socioeconomic in Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region China has been somewhat conflict with sustainability capital, particularly domain land use. This, however, remains largely underexplored 41 cities partnering YRD. aim this paper is to bring clarity as YRD by using an improved three-dimensional footprint model, well explore underlying drivers spatial econometric models. We find that use most environmentally unsustainable long period time. Cropland recognized major source flows, experiencing low depletion stocks. By contrast, grazing found have poor appropriation suffering from severe Overall, both flows and at aggregate level remain relatively stable but geographically uneven, rich west north YRD, intensive northwest northeast In addition, proportion primary industry added value GDP per capita disposable income are identified YRD’s environmental unsustainability Our findings call renewed policies pinpoint land, fishing grounds cropland enable societal prosperity without accelerating capital.
