Abstract

Land use change significantly affects regional carbon emissions and ecosystem service value (ESV). Under China’s Dual Carbon Goals, this study takes Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, experiencing rapid land use change, as the study area and counties as the study unit. This study employs a combination of methods, including carbon emission coefficients, equivalent-factor methods, bivariate spatial autocorrelation, and a multinomial logit model. These were used to explore the spatial relationship between land use carbon emissions and ESV, and to identify their key driving factors. These insights are essential for promoting sustainable regional development. Results indicate the following: (1) Total land use carbon emissions increased from 2000 to 2015, then declined until 2020; emissions were high in municipal centers; carbon sinks were in northwestern ecological zones. Construction land was the primary contributor. (2) ESV declined from 2000 to 2010 but increased from 2010 to 2020, driven by forest land and water bodies. High-ESV clusters appeared in northwestern and eastern coastal zones. (3) A significant negative spatial correlation was found between carbon emissions and ESV, with dominant Low-High clustering in the north and Low-Low clustering in central and southern regions. Over time, clustering dispersed, suggesting improved spatial balance. (4) Population density and cultivated land reclamation rate were core drivers of carbon–ESV clustering patterns, while average precipitation, average temperature, NDVI, and per capita GDP showed varied effects. To promote low-carbon and ecological development, this study puts forward several policy recommendations. These include implementing differentiated land use governance and enhancing regional compensation mechanisms. In addition, optimizing demographic and industrial structures is essential to reduce emissions and improve ESV across the study area.
