Abstract
The county is the basic administrative unit of China, and the spatialization of carbon budget at the county scale plays an irreplaceable role in deepening the understanding of the carbon emission mechanism and spatial pattern. Yueqing County, an economically developed county in the Yangtze River Delta of China, was selected as the study area, the spatial pattern of the carbon budget and the optimal resolution of the spatialization at the county level were dissected on the basis of accurate accounting, and driving factors of carbon emissions were further identified using the geographically weighted regression model. The results indicated that (1) the carbon emissions were mainly generated from fossil fuel combustion related to energy, accounting for 98.8% of the total carbon budget in the study area; (2) the optimal resolution of spatialization was 200 m and carbon emissions were concentrated in the southeast of the study area; (3) energy intensity, energy structure, per capita GDP, and urbanization rate were positively correlated with carbon emissions, while population played a bidirectional role in carbon emissions. This study not only strengthens the understanding of the patterns and drivers of the carbon budget but also establishes a theoretical framework and operational tools for policymakers to formulate solutions to mitigate the carbon crisis.
