[Table 6]
The bivariate LISA maps between the EHI and UI displayed a clear
similarity in the spatial clustering pattern (Fig 9). The HH (high EHI
and high UI) types and LH (low EHI and high UI) types behaved
geographically adjacent, mainly clustered in the BTH, YRD, and PRD
regions, where the central region was predominantly HH types, while the
edges were LH types. The LL (low EHI and low UI) types were distributed
primarily in northwest China, such as Xinjiang, western Inner Mongolia,
northwestern Gansu Province and the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. In addition,
the HL types were mainly concentrated in the southwest region, such as
eastern Tibet, northwestern Yunnan, Sichuan Province and Chongqing City.
