Short summary
Based on a comprehensive analysis framework including 15 factors, a factorial analysis scheme was developed to quantify a relative contribution of individual factors to carbon dynamics induced by urbanization. A case study in the southern US showed that land conversion had larger impacts than other factors, causing C loss. Urban managements & the interactive effect among factors compensated for 42% of the C loss in LC. The altered disturbance regime after urbanization enhanced the urban C sink.
