摘要

Land use change has a substantial effect on carbon emissions in terrestrial ecosystems. However, there is a lack of adequate research on how land-use carbon emissions and their influencing factors in the Hexi region and the counties. Therefore, the total carbon emissions from land use in the Hexi region were computed for the period 2000–2020. The results indicated that (1) net carbon emissions from land use in the Hexi region demonstrated a notable upward trend from 2000 to 2020. Construction areas were identified as the major source of carbon emissions, whereas forested areas served as the principal carbon sinks. (2) Higher net carbon emissions were observed in the central, eastern, and northern sectors, whereas lower emissions were recorded in the western and southern regions. (3) Socioeconomic factors were found to have greater effects on net carbon emissions from land use than were natural factors. The analysis emphasized the need for optimizing land use, energy consumption structures, and industrial transformation, as well as developing specific emission reduction strategies to achieve the Hexi region’s “dual carbon” goals.
