Analysis of Land Use and Carbon Storage Dynamics Change in the Qinling-Daba Mountains
LandCarbon storage of terrestrial ecosystems is highly susceptible to land use/cover change (LUCC). In order to optimize land use patterns and advance the dual carbon goals (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality), it is imperative to clarify the role of LUCC ...
