In Chongqing's composite ecosystem of Mountains, Rivers, Forests, Farmlands, Lakes, and Grasslands (CEMRFFLG), the embodied carbon of four subsystems (farmland, grassland, forest, and water) was quantified using Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approaches. The flows of embodied carbon among these subsystems were analyzed within a metacoupling framework, and their driving mechanisms were systematically explored. The results indicated that: (1) In 2020, embodied carbon of CEMRFFLG subsystems in Chongqing ranked as farmland > grassland >forest > water, with the farmland subsystem accounting for 68.88% of the total; (2) The embodied carbon inflow to the CEMRFFLG of Chongqing was 3.45 times greater than its outflow, exhibiting a distinct net-input characteristic; (3) Direct carbon flows were characterized by inflow and outflow contribution rates from distant systems of 99.28% and 78.82%, respectively, indicating predominance of long-distance transmission. Conversely, embodied carbon flows presented a distinctive structural pattern of "remote inflows and proximate outflows," wherein distant systems contributed 85.61% of inflows and adjacent systems received 91.36% of outflows; (4) Among all factors, the consumption level showed the strongest positive influence on embodied carbon flows of CEMRFFLG, with a path coefficient of 0.845. A comparative analysis of direct and embodied carbon flows provides a scientific basis for optimizing embodied carbon flow reduction strategies in Chongqing's CEMRFFLG, offering significant implications for achieving green development of composite ecosystem patterns.
