Land use profoundly impacts the sustainable development of ecological environment. Optimizing land patterns is a vital approach to mitigate climate change and achieve carbon neutrality. Using Shandong Province as case study, this research evaluates cover (LUCC) on regional storage emissions. Employing coupled PLUS–InVEST–GM(1,1) model, simulations were conducted for scenarios including natural scenario (NS), cropland protection (CPS), high-speed (HDS), low-carbon (LCS), assess LUCC changes in emissions from 2030 2060 under these scenarios. The findings indicate that due expansion construction significant declines arable grassland areas, increased by 40,436.44 × 104 t over 20-year period, while decreased 4881.13 t. Notably, forests contributed most sequestration, emerged primary source Simulating four demonstrates measures such protecting cropland, expanding forest, grassland, aquatic controlling expansion, promoting intensive positively affect emission reductions sequestration Shandong. These underscore importance rational planning patterns, which can enhance contributions neutrality harmonizing relationships among protection, conservation, economic development.

Vast rural populations squeezed into cities, leaving small townships hollowed out. Even so, some townships’ lands are still expanding. The dilemma of land expansion with a shrinking population raises various challenges including farmland reduction. Much the current research on impervious has focused urban areas, while were often neglected. Based high-resolution satellite data and statistic in 1993–2018, this study explored long-term township dynamics real-world relationship their for 17 first-batch-of-strong-tourism counties China. results showed that over past 26 years, there had been an increasing trend areas counties. There diseconomies scale expansion, i.e., township’s became less efficient population. area was predominantly converted from cropland (ranging 16.40% to 71.96%). highlands also increasing, although most growth occurred lowlands. patterns mainly dominated by infilling edge-expansion during early stage, after which leapfrogging occurred, increased again recent years. Townships “closer” accessibility tourist attractions largest fastest rate influence townships. These needed customized development its unique natural conditions. This could provide data-based evidence better planning governing promote sustainable worldwide.
