Key Points

This research aims to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution and key drivers of eco-environmental quality in Guangdong Province.
Utilized Google Earth Engine platform for remote sensing analysis
Developed improved water benefit-based ecological index (ImWBEI) using specific vegetation and moisture indices
Conducted Theil-Sen trend analysis and Mann-Kendall significance testing
Implemented geographical detector for parameter optimization and coordination degree modeling
Analyzed data from 2000 to 2021 for comprehensive insights
EEQ in Guangdong improved significantly at a rate of 0.0092 per year
The spatial distribution showed higher EEQ values in the north compared to the south
Future trends indicate a pattern of weak persistent improvement in EEQ
Comprehensive urbanization index identified as the main driver of spatial differentiation in EEQ
Coordination between EEQ and urbanization improved consistently across the province
