Overview

Spatial analysis reveals CO2 emissions and sequestration functions, suggesting green infrastructure enhances urban planning.

Key Points

  • The research aims to integrate ecosystem services into urban carbon dynamics and planning through a spatial analysis.
  • Applied a multi-scale, data-driven approach to assess urban carbon dynamics
  • Characterized land use with Copernicus Urban Atlas data
  • Estimated CO2 emissions and sequestration from literature and institutional sources
  • Utilized a Spatial Durbin Model to identify land use effects
  • Identified a net emission imbalance of approximately 1.85 billion kg CO2 per year
  • Transport corridors and low-density areas showed significant positive CO2 emissions
  • Forests and agricultural lands indicated potential sequestration, but not statistically significant
  • Emissions displayed a polarized pattern with urban zones as hotspots and inland areas as sinks
