Abstract

In the context of the worldwide attention on climate change, examining how land use relates to the carbon sink functions of regions is essential. This research innovatively utilizes the 2000–2020 land use data of Changde City, integrating the PLUS and InVEST models to analyze spatiotemporal changes and predict scenarios. It also combines the parameter geodetector and multiscale geographically weighted regression model to dissect driving factor distributions and mechanisms, capture interactions and multiscale impacts, uncover underlying laws, pioneer new paths for similar studies, and support regional ecological sustainability. The results show that from 2000–2020, forest and arable land areas declined while construction land expanded, leading to a yij1,172,200-ton carbon storage reduction in Changde City. Carbon storage decreased under natural development and arable land protection scenarios but increased in the ecological scenario. The main drivers of carbon storage in Changde City are the DEM, slope, and annual average temperature, with their interactions enhancing spatial heterogeneity. Human activities, especially in mountains and urbanizing regions, negatively impact carbon storage. This study aids in optimizing land resource allocation, improving land use efficiency, and promoting coordinated and sustainable development in Changde City’s ecological, economic, and social systems.
