The invention provides a moisture management method for carbon sequestration and carbon sink increase for wetlands, which includes: firstly, selecting a meadow or marsh with logged water on the surface, determining environmental factors of the wed land, determining water content of soil, taking soil for test 5-15cm below surface vegetation on early May, beginning of the year, loading the fresh soil sample below the vegetation with a soil box, and drying the soil to constant weight at about 80 DEG C, wherein soil water content = soil dry weight-soil dry weight / soil dry weightX100%, and the soil water content is required to be 40%-70%; and secondly, determining types of the wetland soil, determining the types to be meadow soil, Baijiang soil or marsh soil, regulating moisture, selecting a water source from underground water or unpolluted river and lake fresh water, and irrigating by direct water diversion through ditches or pumping underground water with a water pump. By the moisture management method, covered rate of the wetland can be increased evidently, vegetation carbon sequestration can be improved, soil carbon storage can be increased, emission of greenhouse gases is reduced, investment is low, cost is low, and the moisture management method is highly applicable.
