Abstract
In 2021, the Chinese government set the national development goal of ‘carbon peak and carbon neutrality’. Defining the carbon cycle process of land use is the first step for the implementation of low-carbon land use in coal mining areas. In this study, the carbon income and expenditure of land use in coal mining areas were analyzed theoretically using normative analysis, and thus the corresponding conceptual model of the carbon budget was formed. Concretely, carbon emissions from the coal industry were mainly from two aspects, that is, soil carbon emissions caused by drastic changes in land use in the coal exploration and exploitation stage and greenhouse gas emissions in the coal collection stage. Moreover, carbon in the air is sequestered in the soil when exploration land and mining land were reclaimed into woodland and grassland. Meanwhile, to optimize the utilization of land resources and realize the land low-carbon pattern from the management perspective, the logic system of land low-carbon use management in coal mining areas was explored using normative analysis and literature review. Thus, a complete management system including the management objective, subject, object, means, and implementation guarantee mechanism was built in detail. This study provided ideas for carbon reduction in coal mining areas and laid a decision-making basis for regional low-carbon land use and sustainable development.
