Prediction of Urban Construction Land Carbon Effects (UCLCE) Using BP Neural Network Model: A Case Study of Changxing, Zhejiang Province, China by Qinghua Liao, Xiaoping Zhang, Zixuan Cui, Xunxi Yin

“…The results demonstrate that the BP neural network model effectively predicts the different types of UCLCE, with an average error rate of 30.10%. (1) The total effect and intensity effect exhibit different trends in the study area, and a carbon effect table for different types of UCL is established. (2) The spatial distribution characteristics of UCLCE reveal a distinct reverse-L pattern (“┙”-shaped layout) with positive spatial correlation (Moran’s I = 0.11, <i>p</i> < 0.001). (3) The model’s core practical value lies in enabling forward-looking assessment of carbon effects in urban planning schemes and precise quantification of emissions reduction benefits. …”
