Construction of Carbon Functional Zone in the Demonstration Zone of Green and Integrated Ecological Development of the Yangtze River Delta Based on Carbon Density Correction by Tian ZHANG, Zhen SHEN, Tingting SU, Daixin DAI

“…This research focuses on the critical need to evaluate the spatiotemporal dynamics of carbon storage under rapid land use changes, with a focus on improving the accuracy of carbon density estimation, and to construct a three-tiered zoning framework based on the carbon density gradient. The objectives are to overcome the limitations of static carbon density assumptions inherent in traditional methodologies and to bridge the gap between theoretical carbon storage models and practical governance strategies, thereby identifying and providing a framework for regional carbon management.MethodsTo achieve these objectives, the research develops a novel carbon density correction method that integrates climatic factors and land use characteristics, overcoming the limitations of fixed carbon density values in traditional approaches. …”
