Carbon Storage Response to Land Use/Land Cover Changes and SSP‐RCP Scenarios Simulation: A Case Study in Yunnan Province, China by Jing Liu, Kun Yang, Shaohua Zhang, Wenxia Zeng, Xiaofang Yang, Yan Rao, Yan Ma, Changyou Bi

“…In the wake of population increase and economic advancement, the area of built‐up land expanded by 2.75 times. Built‐up land encroaches on other land categories and is a key cause of the reduction in CS. (2) From 2020 to 2040, mainly due to an increase in forestland, CS rose to 3934.65 Tg under the SSP1‐2.6 scenario, whereas under the SSP2‐4.5 scenario, primarily due to a reduction in forestland and grassland areas, CS declined to 3800.86 Tg. (3) Forestland is the primary contributor to CS, whereas the ongoing enlargement of built‐up land is causing a sustained decline in CS. …”
