Figure 6.

Stacked bar charts and a Sankey diagram compare remaining natural carrying capacity with territorial function suitability across major function zones, showing that territorial function suitability aligns more closely with China’s planning scheme and better supports spatial planning applications.

Distribution and conversion of levels for the remaining value of comprehensive NCC and the territorial function suitability in different major function zones. (a) Distribution of levels for the remaining value of comprehensive NCC in different major function zones. (b) Distribution of levels for the territorial function suitability in different major function zones. (c) Conversion from NCC to territorial function suitability assessment. The remaining value of the comprehensive NCC is used in this research. See Fig. S4 for China’s Major Function Zoning.
