The Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, a vital agricultural area in China with significant amount of arable land, plays pivotal role influencing grain production, ecological carbon cycles, and global climate change through its shifts land use. Within this research, we have employed the ArcGIS tool In-VEST-Geodetector-PLUS methodology to scrutinize storage from year 2000 2020, determine influences behind these shifts, anticipate projected for 2030. Although there has been slight increase forested areas as result environmental policies, conversion cropland impervious surfaces due urbanization led persistent decrease storage, cumulative loss 272.79 million metric tons over two decades. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Night-Time Lights (NTL), Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Population (POP) are critical factors impacting reflecting intricate connection between socio-economic development natural ecosystems. multi-scenario simulations 2030 suggest that least reduction would occur under scenario protecting while most be urban expansion scenario, highlighting impact urbanization. study’s results emphasize need harmonize conservation economic progress enduring growth region.
