Spatial variation of land use carbon budget and zoning for carbon compensation in the Huai River Eco-economic Belt, China by Hongwen Xu, Xiaorui Tao, Yan Lu, Yuexiang Wang, Hui Li, Zhengwei Ye

“…Results indicate that (1) Carbon emissions in the Huai River Eco-economic Belt are generally showing a downward trend, and carbon absorption rises modestly. (2) Carbon emissions exhibit a spatial distribution of higher in the western, northern and eastern regions and lower in the center zone, with large differences in carbon absorption among cities in the same year. (3) Carbon compensation types in the Huai River Eco-economic belt include 7 payment zones, 5 balanced zones and 14 compensated zones, which can be finally classified into 5 categories of carbon compensation space optimization areas by combining with the Normalized Revealed Comparative Advantage Index and model for zoning of carbon compensation. …”
