Effects of Urban Carbon Emissions and Their Spatial-Temporal Patterns around Beijing and Tianjin
According to the data of land use,energy consumption and the relevant statistical data from 2000 to 2013,we measured and analyzed the effects of carbon emissions and their spatial-temporal patterns around Beijing and Tianjin.The results showed that the net carbon emissions had an increasing trend with the average speed of 1 240.43 × 104 t/a,from 4 264.21× 104 t in 2000 to 20 389.78× 104 t in 2013 and the construction land carbon emissions played a leading role.The net carbon emissions and carbon emissions per GDP were markedly different in 5 cities around Beijing and Tianjin.The net carbon emission in Tangshan was the largest,Shijiazhuang,Zhangjiakou and Baoding took the second place,and Langfang was the lowest.The carbon emissions per GDP showed a relatively higher level in Tangshan and Zhangjiakou with the similar,and Shijiazhuang,Baoding and Langfang took the second place.The net carbon emissions presented the increasing trend along with the increase of per capita GDP from 2000 to 2005,and reached the peak of 1.8 t per 10 thousand yuap.With the higher forest coverage,Zhangjiakou has a stronger carbon sink,but its per capita GDP showed a lower level and the net carbon emission at a higher level.Based on relevant research results,some measure and suggestions were presented for reducing carbon emissions.
