Abstract: Enhancing the carbon sink capacity of urban green spaces is considered an effective means of reducing carbon dioxide concentration. This study, employing xCO 2 as a key indicator and utilizing buffer analysis, estimated the carbon sink service radius of urban green spaces. Using spatial zoning and multifactor analysis, this research statistically analyzed 15 indicators, exploring the differences in carbon sink service radius from both the dimensions of urban green spaces and urban zones. The findings indicate that the carbon sink service radius is a result of the combined effect of urban green spaces and adjacent urban areas. Urban green space area, the NPP (net primary productivity) of urban zones, forest proportion, and grassland proportion are positively correlated with the carbon sink service radius, and the correlation degree is 0.12, 0.095, 0.121, and 0.125, respectively. The proportion of grassland and the proportion of impervious area in the city have a significant negative correlation with the carbon sink service radius, and the correlation degree is −0.074 and −0.081, respectively. This research holds significant implications for enhancing the carbon sink capacity of urban green spaces, adjusting land use patterns, and promoting the sustainable development of cities.
