Integrated assessment of land-use/land-cover dynamics on carbon storage services in the Loess Plateau of China from 1995 to 2050

Understanding the impacts of large-scale anthropogenic drivers on spatiotemporal processes in carbon storage through land-use patterns is a growing issue for the assessment of terrestrial ecosystems. However, an integrated assessment of changes in carbon storage, entailing complex land-use and land-...
