For certain regions with vital ecological functions and high poverty rates, the generation of surplus ecological carbon income is crucial for mitigating global inequality. While the evaluation of the economic benefits of carbon income still faces limitations in terms of inadequacy and inaccuracy, enhancing green carbon poverty alleviation schemes is urgently needed. This project introduces an analysis framework for assessing the land-based ecological carbon sink and poverty alleviation potential based on a per capita ideal carbon sink income evaluation, which compares the regional economic benefits of a carbon sink under different carbon price benchmarks and explores tailored green poverty alleviation strategies. It indicates that the per capita ideal carbon sink income in China exhibits a seasonal variation, ranging from approximately USD 16.50 to USD 261.41 per person per month on average. Its spatial distribution shows a pattern of lower values in the central region and higher values in the north and south, following a \u201chigh differentiation, low clustering\u201d distribution pattern. The per capita carbon sink income can reach 30% to 70% of the per capita GDP, with a peak value of USD 19,138.10 per year, meeting the minimum livelihood guarantee for the needs in economically underdeveloped areas. Simultaneously, the per capita carbon sequestration income within the Chinese carbon market is expected to demonstrate a yearly ascending trajectory, with an approximate growth rate of USD 23.6 per individual annually. The southwest, northeast, and north China regions can be prioritized as key areas for carbon market development, facilitating more comprehensive inter-regional and sustainable carbon trading. This study plays a significant role in disclosing the regional ecological function and economic benefits, promoting the use of \u201ccarbon neutrality\u201d as a driving force to alleviate global inequality and contributing to global climate action and poverty eradication strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15153849","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,2]],"date-time":"2023-08-02T10:57:33Z","timestamp":1690973853000},"page":"3849","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Analysis of the Income Enhancement Potential of the Terrestrial Carbon Sink in China Based on Remotely Sensed Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jiaying","family":"Ying","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"given":"Jiafei","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5160-775X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huayi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"given":"Yilin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Luojia Laboratory, Wuhan 430072, China"},{"name":"Perception and Effectiveness Assessment for Carbon-Neutral Efforts, Engineering Research Center of Ministry of Education, Wuhan 430081, China"},{"name":"Wuhan Institute of Quantum Technology, Wuhan 430223, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic Information, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"given":"Boming","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2561-3244","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ge","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"},{"name":"Hubei Luojia Laboratory, Wuhan 430072, China"},{"name":"Perception and Effectiveness Assessment for Carbon-Neutral Efforts, Engineering Research Center of Ministry of Education, Wuhan 430081, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"127689","DOI":"10.1016\/j.energy.2023.127689","article-title":"Toward carbon free by 2060: A decarbonization roadmap of operational residential buildings in China","volume":"277","author":"Zou","year":"2023","journal-title":"Energy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113652","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rse.2023.113652","article-title":"Improving quantification of methane point source emissions from imaging spectroscopy","volume":"295","author":"Pei","year":"2023","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
