Belt and Road Land-Use Synergy and Carbon Stocks, 2000–2022

8.3 MB of model input data, simulation outputs, and Python code supporting a study on land-use change and terrestrial carbon stocks across Belt and Road countries. The dataset covers a historical period from 2000 to 2022 and includes scenario simulations for future policy pathways. It was authored by Lulu Qu and last updated on 2026-05-21.

Use Cases

• Reproduce land-use change simulations based on the provided system dynamics model and Python scripts.
• Analyze terrestrial carbon stock results under different policy scenarios like compact development or ecological restoration.
• Study the relationship between residence–employment land-system synergy and ecosystem carbon balance across countries.

Strengths

• Includes Python scripts for full result reproduction, improving transparency.
• Covers a 22-year historical period (2000–2022) and extends to future policy scenarios.
• Contains model outputs for multiple scenarios: baseline, compact development, cropland protection, ecological restoration, and combined pathways.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 8.3 MB size suggests a relatively small dataset, potentially limiting the granularity of analysis.
