Using 9 national key forest ecological function zones as empirical research areas, an evaluation index system for industrial ecological level is constructed from two subsystems of industrialization and ecology. Entropy method, coupling coordination model, scissors difference model, coupling degree model, Dagum Gini coefficient, and MGWR model are used to measure the industrialization level, ecological level, industrial ecological level and industrial ecological changes of ecological function zones in the past 12 years at the county level. We analyze the coordinated development level, difference in development speed, and dynamic evolution trend of industrialization and ecology systems, and analyze the factors that affect the development of industrial ecology to provide scientific support for the healthy development of industrial ecology. The results indicate that: (1) the industrial ecology has shown a low level and slight upward trend over the past 12 years, The largest gap in the nine function zones showed a fluctuating development trend of first decreasing and then increasing. There are significant differences in the ecological level, industrialization level, and ecological level of industries in different function zones, There are significant differences in the main internal drivers of the development and changes in the ecological level of industries in different function zones. The overall level of industrialization and ecology has shown a slight upward trend. The overall level of industrialization is lower than the ecological level, with the largest gaps in the 9 function zones showing a trend of first decreasing, converging, and then rising and diverging. The average performance of industrial ecology, industrialization, and ecological level is that the growth rate in the previous stage is faster than that in the later stage, and the growth rate in the latter stage has decreased significantly. (2) Over the past 12 years, the coordination between industrialization and ecological systems has improved from primary coordination to intermediate coordination, with the largest gap in coordination between the nine function zones showing a continuous upward trend. The overall coordination level distribution of 186 county samples is mainly in the form of primary and intermediate coordination, with few "spindle" counties on the brink of imbalance, barely coordination, and good coordination; The growth rate of industrialization is faster than that of ecological development, and the scissors difference between industrialization and ecological development rates showed a small downward trend. The difference between industrialization and ecological development gradually narrowed, tending towards a common development stage. (3) The urbanization rate, population density, per capita savings deposit balance of urban and rural residents, added value of the tertiary industry/added value of the secondary industry, fiscal self-sufficiency rate, per capita disposable income of urban residents, and the number of beds in hospitals and health centers per 10000 people had a positive impact on the level of industrial ecology, and the urbanization rate was the positive leading factor affecting the level of industrial ecology.
