Description:
<jats:p>Promoting ecological environmental protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin is an important measure and an inevitable choice to achieve sustainable social development. Based on the data of 48 prefecture-level cities in the Yellow River Basin during 2003-2018, a high-quality development evaluation system was constructed to measure the high-quality development of the innovation ecosystem in the Yellow River Basin. The results of the study show that the Yellow River Basin ecosystem has a high quality development level, with a distribution pattern of “middlestream disadvantage, downstream advantage, and upstream stability”.</jats:p>
