As reported in the literature, nearly one third of global carbon emissions during the last hundred years has come from changes in land use/cover and the transformation of land management modes. In this paper, the latter is called the direct effect of land use on carbon emissions. The remaining two thirds of carbon emissions were caused by anthropogenic activities on different types of land. This is defined as indirect effect of land use on carbon emissions. Unveiling the mechanisms of how land use affects carbon emissions and determining the anthropogenic controls and regulatory countermeasures needed to achieve low-carbon targets are key research subjects with strategic importance for socioeconomic development. However, the mechanisms by which land use affects carbon emissions, especially in rapidly urbanizing regions, are still unclear, and are more complicated than those of natural ecosystems. This is because of the complex nature of land-use influenced both by human socio-economic and natural ecological factors. Thus, research relevant to these issues has been attracting more and more attention from stakeholders such as scholars, policymakers, enterprises, and non-governmental organizations. Such research has been targeted as core content in many scientific research programs in the energy and environmental disciplines around the world. In order to have a comprehensive understanding of the state of the art in land use effects on carbon emissions, and for low carbon management, this paper summarizes the achievements in the existing literature. It also provides a review of the existing gaps and challenges from the perspectives of carbon inventory accounting, mechanisms of both direct and indirect carbon emissions from land use, and carbon mitigation management. It was found that 1) in past decades, a large amount of research has been conducted on land-use-induced carbon-inventory accounting at both country and regional scales, and on the effect of land use on the carbon cycle of some typical natural ecosystems, such as forests and grasslands. In contrast, studies on the mechanisms of land use change driven both by socioeconomic and natural processes, and on their influence on carbon emissions at city scale, lag behind. 2) The current literature on low carbon management focuses more on the planning and regulation of specific types of land use, such as urban green space or residential land, or on the optimization of the amount and composition structure of total urban land. Systematic control and regulating principles, together with roadmaps for detailed implementation, have not yet been provided. Future studies aimed at correcting current deficiencies are proposed to provide the theoretical knowledge and practical experience needed for achieving low-carbon-target-oriented, land-use planning. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献
