Floodplains are valuable natural resources for humankind, serving to regulate the ecology and environment of the region and providing irreplaceable direct and indirect services to humankind. However, in recent years, the ecological environment of the floodplains has been seriously disturbed and damaged by the combined effects of global climate change and anthropogenic disturbance, and degradation has become a major challenge to the sustainable development of the ecological environment. This resulted in a low ecosystem function and difficulties in meeting the needs of economic development in the floodplain areas. Based on the theories of landscape ecology, landscape ecological planning, sponge city, elastic landscape, and carbon neutrality, this study combines the goal of carbon neutrality with the ecological restoration of the Yellow River floodplain and improves its carbon sink capacity by optimising ecological restoration strategies to increase the contribution rate and promote the early realisation of carbon neutrality.
