Spatial-Temporal Variation and Driving Forces of Carbon Storage at the County Scale in China Based on a Gray Multi-Objective Optimization-Patch-Level Land Use Simulation-Integrated... by Gui Chen, Qingxia Peng, Qiaohong Fan, Wenxiong Lin, Kai Su

“…In contrast, the economic priority, ecological priority, and economic–ecological coordinated scenarios are expected to increase carbon storage by 0.29 Tg, 2.62 Tg, and 1.65 Tg, respectively; (4) the spatial differentiation of carbon storage is jointly influenced by various factors, with the annual mean temperature, night light index, elevation, slope, and population density being the key influencing factors. In addition, the influence of natural factors on carbon storage is diminishing, whereas the impact of socioeconomic factors is on the rise. …”
