In large urban agglomerations with fragmented landscapes, the relationship between habitat quality driving mechanisms and county ecological network weights has not yet been revealed. This study investigated the metropolitan area of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration (CZXUA), focusing on b...
