Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon sink measurement, and in particular to a forest and grassland wet carbon sink measurement method and system. Background Art

[0002] Forest and grassland carbon sink measurement refers to the process of quantifying and evaluating the carbon dioxide absorbed and stored by ecosystems such as forests, grasslands, and wetlands over a period of time. Its basic principles are based on the carbon cycle and biogeochemical processes. The main steps include determining the carbon sink type, selecting the measurement method, collecting data, calculating carbon storage, and considering the dynamic changes of carbon sinks.

[0003] For example, the patented forestry carbon sink dynamic measurement method with publication number CN119888472A includes the following steps: S100, obtaining a remote sensing image of the land to be measured; S200, processing the remote sensing image to extract characteristic data for calculating the carbon sink of the land to be measured; S300, inputting the characteristic data into a calculation model to calculate the carbon sink of the land to be measured. The forestry carbon sink dynamic measurement method obtains remote sensing data by data processing, extracts data from multiple aspects of the remote sensing image, establishes a calculation model, and thus realizes accurate monitoring of carbon sinks. At the same time, it greatly overcomes the shortcomings of traditional carbon sink monitoring, such as time-consuming and labor-intensive, and small scope, and is also suitable for monitoring forest carbon reserves and carbon sinks on a large spatial scale.

[0004] Another example is the patented ecological slope carbon sink measurement method with publication number CN119577580A. The ecological slope is divided into multiple independent areas according to the terrain characteristics, and divided into different slope grades according to the slope; within each partition, it is further classified into different vegetation type areas according to the vegetation type, namely classification areas; representative sample plots are selected in each classification area, and the size of the sample plots is adjusted according to different vegetation types; the carbon sequestration amount of the vegetation in each sample plot is calculated; the measurement results are corrected according to different slopes and vegetation types; the carbon sink amounts of all sample plots are summarized. The provided ecological slope carbon sink measurement method comprehensively considers the terrain characteristics and vegetation types of the ecological slope, is suitable for carbon sink measurement schemes under complex environmental conditions, and improves the accuracy, reliability and operability of carbon sink measurement in ecological slope environments;

[0005] For example, the patent CN117151921B discloses a carbon sink measurement system and method for planting agriculture, which includes: a carbon total fixation estimation module, which obtains planting-related information of plants in a target area and estimates the total carbon fixation value of the target area during the planting period; a carbon consumption estimation module, which obtains planting consumption information of plants in the target area and estimates the carbon consumption value of the target area during the planting period; a waste treatment module, which obtains planting recycling information and determines the planting recycling carbon value and the planting return carbon value; a carbon sink measurement module, which determines the carbon sink measurement value of the target area during the planting period and estimates the total carbon fixation value, carbon consumption value, planting recycling carbon value and termination return carbon value of plants in the target area, thereby realizing carbon sink measurement estimation of planting agriculture within a regional scope;

[0006] Most of the above-mentioned existing technologies have improved their overall structure. However, in the actual application of existing forest, grassland and wetland carbon sink measurement methods, traditional carbon sink measurement relies on ground sample surveys or single remote sensing data, which makes it difficult to accurately distinguish the carbon sink contributions of forests, grasslands and wetlands, and the spatial resolution is insufficient. For example, optical remote sensing is easily affected by clouds and fog, and existing models are mostly based on static estimates of historical data, which cannot dynamically reflect the impact of extreme climate and human interference such as deforestation and fire on carbon sinks. Summary of the Invention

For example, optical remote sensing is easily interfered by clouds and fog, and existing models are mostly based on static estimates of historical data and cannot dynamically reflect the impact of extreme climate and human interference such as deforestation and fire on carbon sinks.

[0012] Step 5: Carbon sink visualization and decision support.

[0013] Further preferably, the step 3: feature extraction includes the following steps:

[0015] Further preferably, the step 5: carbon sink visualization and decision support includes the following steps: a: generating a carbon sink spatial distribution heat map and a time series change curve; b: setting a threshold warning (such as triggering an alarm when the annual carbon sink decline rate is >5%); c: outputting carbon sink enhancement strategy recommendations (such as identifying priority areas for wetland restoration).

[0016] Furthermore, the overall accuracy is improved, and the carbon sink prediction error is reduced by 40% compared with the traditional NDVI model (measured RMSE ≤ 0.8tC / ha); the overall real-time performance is guaranteed, supporting monthly updates, and generating carbon sink loss assessment reports within 72 hours after extreme events (such as typhoons).

[0017] Further optimization can be applied to the government side: policy effect evaluation, ecological compensation fund distribution; enterprise side: carbon sink trading project development (such as CCER); scientific research side: research on the mechanism of global change affecting carbon sinks.

[0018] Further optimization is to achieve multi-source data collaboration: integrate optical, radar, and lidar data to solve the errors of single data sources; dynamic model optimization: combine real-time meteorological data with historical trends to achieve dynamic calibration of carbon sinks; enhance interpretability: quantify the contribution of each feature to carbon sinks through SHAP values to support scientific decision-making.

[0019] Further preferably, a measurement system for the carbon sink measurement method is also disclosed, and the specific construction architecture is as follows, including a data acquisition layer, a data processing layer, a model calculation layer and an application layer, wherein: the data acquisition layer: collects data through a satellite remote sensing receiving terminal, a ground Internet of Things sensor, and a meteorological data interface;

It avoids cloud and fog interference, solves the error of a single data source, and achieves high-precision measurement and real-time monitoring of forest, grassland, and wetland carbon sinks through multi-source data fusion and dynamic model optimization.

[0025] Dynamic model optimization is performed, combining static estimates with historical data, while also dynamically reflecting the impacts of extreme climate and human disturbances, such as deforestation and fires, on carbon sinks. Combining real-time meteorological data with historical trends enables dynamic calibration of carbon sinks, such as rapid assessment of carbon losses after fires.

[0026] The overall interpretability is enhanced, and the contribution of various features to carbon sequestration, such as canopy height and soil moisture, is quantified through SHAP values. The collaborative calibration of ground-based measured data and remote sensing data is efficient, combined with an automated fusion mechanism to support scientific decision-making and improve overall practicality.
