Abstract

Road construction will have a large impact on the ecosystem in the road area, and carbon stock, as an important indicator to measure the scale and quantity of primary productivity of the ecosystem, will also change, but the specific pattern is not clear. It is important to study the impact of road construction on carbon stock for regional ecosystem protection and sustainable economic and social development. Based on the InVEST model, this paper quantifies the spatial and temporal changes of carbon stocks in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, from 2002 to 2017, using remote sensing image classification data land cover types as model driving data, geodetector, trend analysis, and buffer zone analysis methods, explores the driving effect of road construction on carbon stocks, and analyzes the spatial and temporal impacts of road construction on carbon stocks within the buffer zone. Results indicate that the total carbon stock in the Jinhua area showed a decreasing trend during the 16 years, decreasing by about 8.58 × 106 t. The spatial changes in the areas with higher carbon stocks were not significant. The explanatory power of road network density on carbon stock reaches 37%, and the anisotropic effect of road construction on carbon stock is strong and had a significant driving effect on carbon storage reduction. The new highway construction will accelerate the rate of carbon stock decline in the buffer zone, and the spatial situation is generally “the farther away from the highway, the higher the carbon stock.”
