Under the “dual carbon” goals, Taiyuan, a prefecture-level administrative unit and energy-intensive region in Shanxi Province, China, has experienced changes in soil carbon storage and soil carbon flux under rapid urbanization and industrialization. To clarify the spatial patterns of soil carbon storage and flux, 26 field sampling sites, including 78 soil samples, were analyzed using laboratory measurements and an optimized tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy–geographic information system (TDLAS–GIS) integrated monitoring approach. This study investigated the spatial patterns of soil carbon storage and flux and discussed their potentially associated factors, providing an exploratory workflow for regional carbon monitoring. The results showed clear spatial heterogeneity, with an average soil organic carbon (SOC) content of 10.86 g/kg. High-SOC areas were mainly located in the southern and southwestern plains, while lower SOC levels occurred in urban expansion zones and highly disturbed surfaces. The western mountainous areas were important ecological barriers but were not the highest measured SOC zones. At the site level, arable land and forestland showed higher mean SOC values than grassland, with average SOC contents of 12.47, 12.07, and 8.27 g/kg, respectively, although these land-use-related differences were not statistically significant. Soil carbon flux was relatively higher in some mountainous regions and industrial–ecological transition areas but lower in several urban expansion areas. The results suggest that urbanization and industrial activity may be associated with changes in SOC and soil-atmosphere CO₂ exchange. This study describes the spatial variation characteristics of soil carbon storage and flux, establishes a reproducible TDLAS–GIS workflow for regional carbon monitoring, and provides exploratory support for ecological sustainability, sustainable land management, and the “dual carbon” strategy in northern resource-based cities.
