Although environmental illiteracy threatens the functioning of landscapes throughout the world, it is frequently ignored. The traditional wisdom assumes that suspicions will evaporate when the public and government authorities are provided with new information. Despite significant efforts to enhance riparian corridor output, limited data are available on the effect of environmental literacy metrics (ELMs) on clean production elements (CPEs) across various streams (e.g., main rivers and tributaries) within impoundments. This study examined such effects within the China Three Gorges Dam Reservoir area (TGDRA) by collecting 336 transects that assessed the breadth of effects on 58,000 km in 2019. The network visualization revealed 7234 papers published over the last 121 years, each of which focused on themes such as plant cover, regeneration, exotics, erosion, habitat, and stressors. The bar graph showed that the general public lacked understanding of environmental literacy (e.g., knowledge, attitudes, and behavior), which influenced plant cover elements most in tributary zones but had little direct effect on regeneration. Locals' environmental literacy had the greatest impact on CPEs, with Pearson correlation coefficients ranging from -0.69 <r < 0.96 in the main river zones. Moreover, public employees' environmental literacy had a stronger correlation with CPEs (-0.58 <r < 0.83) within the main river regions. Farming systems, exposed soil, dominant grass regeneration, and instream structures, including pollution, were among the most notable CPEs within the TGDRA. According to hierarchical approaches, CPEs and ELMs change substantially across stream types. CPEs and ELMs vary significantly around main rivers and tributaries, requiring efforts to raise the public understanding of the worldwide impacts of stream health on humans.
尽管环境文盲威胁着世界各地景观的功能，但它经常被忽视。传统智慧认为，一旦向公众和政府当局提供新信息，疑虑就会消除。尽管为提高河岸带走廊的产出做出了重大努力，但关于环境素养指标（ELMs）对水库内各种溪流（如主要河流和支流）清洁生产要素（CPEs）的影响的数据有限。本研究通过收集 2019 年评估 58000 公里影响宽度的 336 个横断面，在三峡大坝库区（TGDRA）中检查了这种影响。网络可视化显示，在过去 121 年中发表了 7234 篇论文，每篇论文都侧重于植物覆盖、再生、外来物种、侵蚀、栖息地和胁迫等主题。条形图显示，公众普遍缺乏对环境素养（如知识、态度和行为）的了解，这对支流区的植物覆盖要素影响最大，但对再生几乎没有直接影响。当地人的环境素养对 CPEs 的影响最大，主河带的皮尔逊相关系数范围为-0.69<r<0.96。此外，公共部门员工的环境素养与主河区域内的 CPEs 具有更强的相关性（-0.58<r<0.83）。农业系统、裸露土壤、优势草再生以及包括污染在内的河流内结构是 TGDRA 中最显著的 CPEs 之一。根据层次方法，CPEs 和 ELMs 在不同类型的溪流中发生了很大变化。CPEs 和 ELMs 在主河流和支流周围有很大差异，需要努力提高公众对全球范围内溪流健康对人类影响的认识。
