Article Synopsis
- Regional land use changes significantly affect carbon storage in ecosystems, particularly in the source region of the Yellow River, highlighting the importance of predicting these impacts for sustainable development.
- From 2000 to 2020, carbon storage in the area increased by 11.59 million tons, mainly due to the expansion of wetlands and shifts in grassland coverage.
- Projections for 2040 indicate further carbon storage increases, with the natural change scenario showing a rise of 3.92 million tons and the ecological protection scenario yielding an even larger increase of 13.53 million tons, underscoring the need for informed land use management.
