With the increasing frequency of extreme climate events, global attention to greenhouse gas emission control and carbon balance has continued to intensify. Since the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol (1997), the Paris Agreement (2015), and the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in 2021, the international community has set a clear target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The acquisition and disclosure of carbon storage data have thus become fundamental to climate governance and spatial planning. This study takes Kinmen County—a representative offshore island in Taiwan—as the case study area to investigate how land use changes driven by the transition from military governance (lifted in 1992) to cross-strait tourism development (initiated in 2001) have affected ecosystem carbon storage and its spatial distribution. Using the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) carbon storage and sequestration model, we analyze land use data from four time points: 2006, 2013, 2021, and a projected scenario based on the National Land Functional Zoning draft. The study evaluates the relationship between land use transformations and carbon storage variations over time. The results provide a valuable reference for future spatial planning and carbon sink policies on offshore islands, contributing to the promotion of ecosystem service sustainability and the advancement of carbon neutrality goals. The findings also offer practical implications for land management and policy-making in the context of climate change. |
