Abstract
Land use is a major source of anthropogenic carbon emissions and a driver of climate change, so it is necessary to explore the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of carbon emissions from different land use types. Based on the land use type data and fossil energy consumption data in the same period, we analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of carbon emissions in the Yellow River Delta from 2000 to 2019 by constructing a carbon emission model, carbon footprint and Moran’s I index. The empirical results show that total net carbon emissions in the Yellow River Delta increased from 3.1×1010kg to 1.5×1011kg during 2000–2019. Construction land is the main source of carbon,…
