Abstract:

Land use change is a key factor affecting carbon emissions.Studying the spatiotemporal evolution of regional carbon emissions is significance for promoting reasonable emission reduction. Based on the measured data of land use carbon emissions in Ningxia at two scales of county (district) and 10 km grid from 1990 to 2020, combined with trend analysis, spatial autocorrelation analysis, and GTWR model, this study discusses the spatiotemporal variation characteristics and influencing factors of carbon emissions in Ningxia. The results show that: (1) Both scales of land use carbon emissions show an upward trend in time series, and construction land is the main source of carbon emissions in Ningxia. (2) There are differences in carbon emissions among different counties (districts), with Xingqing District and Lingwu City showing the most rapid growth in carbon emissions. (3) Carbon emissions show a distribution pattern of northwest region>central region>southern region in space. Grid-scale carbon emissions have significant spatial autocorrelation, and the agglomeration pattern of carbon emissions increases with time. (4) The proportion of construction land and human activities are important factors driving the spatial and temporal differentiation of carbon emissions in Ningxia, which has a significant positive effect and the impact intensity increases year by year.
