Research on carbon compensation zoning guided by major function zones: A case study of the Yangtze River Delta region by Rui Shen, Yinan Yang, Jialong Xu, Li Wang, Yuhang Jiang, Yujing Xie, Yuan Wang

“…At the county scale, carbon emissions exhibited a “core-periphery” structure, with carbon sequestration showing a “high in the south, low in the north” spatial heterogeneity. (2) The carbon budget characteristics of functional zones aligned with their designated roles, with greater variability in the concentration index of carbon emissions compared to sequestration. (3) Scale background attributes (SBA) and socio-economic attributes (SEA) exhibited a nonlinear negative correlation, while spatial structure attributes (SSA) positively influenced ecological environment attributes (EEA), particularly in Optimized Development Zones (ODZ). (4) Based on the spatial comparative advantages of attribute indicators, 120 payment zones, 95 balancing zones, and 90 compensation zones were identified, further refined into 10 distinct carbon compensation zoning types integrated with major functional zones. …”
