Analysis examines spatial heterogeneity in CO2 emissions related to land-use patterns in China, suggesting economic development influences this relationship.
Key Points
CO2 emissions are significantly influenced by land-use landscape patterns, showing spatial heterogeneity across cities.
Land-use patterns were analyzed in 300 Chinese cities from 2005 to 2020, revealing regional disparities in carbon emissions.
Geographically weighted regression was used to assess the relationship between landscape patterns and carbon emissions.
Sustainable land-use strategies must consider economic development levels to effectively mitigate carbon emissions.
