This study assesses ecological network (EN) sustainability in the Yangtze River Delta under multiple climate scenarios, using both functional and structural metrics. Ten scenarios predict that by 2050, 6.23% of current ecological sources will decline in functionality, and the structural stability of the EN may decrease by 33.55%. The research highlights that sustainable EN management requires integrated approaches to maintain ecosystem services amid climate challenges, suggesting adaptations in landscape planning and policy.
