摘要

Vegetation is crucial in carbon sequestration, as it stores soil carbon and biomass. However, agricultural droughts significantly reduce vegetation growth, directly impacting the amount of carbon sequestered through photosynthesis. This study investigates the effects of agricultural drought on carbon emissions across four sub-regions of China, Northwest China, North China, the Qinghai-Tibet region, and South China, from 2001 to 2020. Three remote sensing-based drought indices, the Moisture Anomaly Index (MAI), Vegetation Anomaly Index (VAI), and Temperature Anomaly Index (TAI) were used for drought monitoring. Advanced statistical techniques were employed to explore the relationship between these indices and carbon emissions, including auto-correlation and spatial cross-correlation. The results indicate that temporal variations between carbon emissions and agricultural drought indices exhibit distinct regional patterns. Among the indices, VAI demonstrated the strongest correlation with carbon emissions, with values ranging from r = 0.56 to 0.76. Carbon emissions varied significantly across regions, with the highest recorded in North China, followed by South China, Northwest China, and Qinghai-Tibet regions. Spatial cross-correlation analysis revealed that the highest positive correlation (r > 0.5) between carbon emissions and drought indices was observed in South China, whereas a moderate correlation was found between MAI and carbon emissions in Northwest China. The correlation between VAI and carbon emissions ranged from r = -0.6 to > 0.8. TAI exhibited a positive correlation with carbon emissions in South China, whereas negative correlations were observed in Northwest China and northeast North China. These findings provide valuable insights for mitigating drought-induced carbon emissions and promoting sustainable land management practices.
