Remote sensing technology has become increasingly important for monitoring carbon sinks, as it allows for precise measurement of carbon storage and ecological changes, which are vital for forecasting carbon prices. Carbon prices fluctuate due to the interaction of various factors, exhibiting non-stationary characteristics and inherent uncertainties, making accurate predictions particularly challenging. To address these complexities, this study proposes a method for predicting carbon trading prices influenced by multiple factors. We introduce a Decomposition (DECOMP) module that separates carbon price data and its influencing factors into trend and cyclical components. To manage non-stationarity, we propose the KAN with Multi-Domain Diffusion (KAN-MD) module, which efficiently extracts relevant features. Furthermore, a Wave-MH attention module, based on wavelet transformation, is introduced to minimize interference from uncertainties, thereby enhancing the robustness of the model. Empirical research using data from the Hubei carbon trading market demonstrates that our model achieves superior predictive accuracy and resilience to fluctuations compared to other benchmark methods, with an MSE of 0.204% and an MAE of 0.0277. These results provide reliable support for pricing carbon financial derivatives and managing associated risks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e27080817","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,6]],"date-time":"2025-08-06T15:09:53Z","timestamp":1754492993000},"page":"817","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["DKWM-XLSTM: A Carbon Trading Price Prediction Model Considering Multiple Influencing Factors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5888-8367","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunlong","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics & Management, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}]},{"given":"Xuan","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics & Management, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5142-4845","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guoxiong","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics & Management, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}]},{"given":"Lingxi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics & Management, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-0464-1570","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meixi","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics & Management, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}]},{"given":"Tianrui","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics & Management, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"145279","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclepro.2025.145279","article-title":"A study on the differentiation of carbon prices in China: Insights from eight carbon emissions trading pilots","volume":"501","author":"Zhang","year":"2025","journal-title":"J.
