Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ecological restoration, and in particular to a method for assessing the carbon footprint of an ecological restoration project over its entire life cycle. Background Art
[0002] As one of the most important means of optimizing and regulating ecosystems, ecological restoration project construction has played a significant role in improving the quality and stability of ecosystems. The ideas and concepts of ecological restoration projects have undergone profound changes in all aspects. Ecological restoration based on systematicity, integrity and stability is the direction of future development. Ecosystems such as soil, vegetation and other carbon pools also have huge carbon sequestration potential. Therefore, doing a good job in ecological protection, restoration and reconstruction, improving the carbon sequestration capacity of ecosystems, and further reducing emissions and increasing carbon sinks are equally important. Therefore, in the current ecological restoration projects, it is of great significance to evaluate the effectiveness of ecological restoration project construction from multiple objectives, multiple dimensions and multiple perspectives.
[0003] At present, when evaluating ecological restoration projects, the effectiveness and benefits of restoration are usually evaluated through microscopic or on-site experimental data. There is less research on the carbon emissions of social and economic activities during the construction process, and no consideration is given to the carbon emissions of the restoration process itself. Ecological restoration projects themselves have the dual attributes of social economy and natural ecology. The implementation object is the natural ecosystem, and the implementation behavior is the social and economic subject. Therefore, developing a carbon footprint accounting method for grassland ecological restoration projects based on the entire life cycle has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.
[0004] At present, carbon emission methods for agricultural, pastoral and forestry areas in ecological restoration include IPCC carbon emission calculation method, inventory method, input-output method, etc. Carbon sequestration methods such as remote sensing monitoring and laboratory observation still have certain defects, such as mismatch of time and space scales and weak representativeness of monitoring data. However, these methods cannot evaluate the carbon footprint of a systematic project such as ecological restoration project throughout the process, and do not fully consider the project input and ecological benefit output.
[0005] The existing application number is 202410667547.0, which is a method, system, device and storage medium for assessing the carbon footprint of crops. Through this scheme, the carbon emission data of crops in each link can be quickly and effectively predicted, and the impact of these data on the total carbon emissions can be considered, so as to accurately predict the total carbon emissions of crops after maturity. The present invention can not only improve the efficiency and accuracy of the carbon footprint assessment of crops in a low-cost manner, but also formulate a target strategy for reducing carbon footprints based on accurate carbon footprint data, and formulate targeted emission reduction measures; however, the scheme does not clearly and in detail mention the carbon sequestration assessment method of crops. Even if the soil carbon sequestration method is mentioned in some parts, its calculation process lacks specific instructions and details, and it is difficult to provide users with clear operation instructions. This lack of detailed description may make it difficult to accurately assess the contribution of soil carbon sequestration in practical applications; at the same time, it ignores the important effect of crops as vegetation carbon sequestration, and fails to include this natural process in the carbon footprint assessment. This neglect weakens the consideration of the integrity of the natural attributes of agricultural production, which may lead to the assessment results of the carbon footprint of crops being not comprehensive and accurate.
[0006] The existing application number is 202311348321.6, which is a method and system for evaluating the carbon and nitrogen footprint of agricultural planting industry. Its purpose is to establish a standardized carbon and nitrogen database for agricultural planting industry; by identifying the source and sink process of carbon and nitrogen in agricultural planting industry, a standardized carbon and nitrogen database is established, and the input, circulation and output of carbon and nitrogen in agricultural planting industry are accurately calculated, and the carbon and nitrogen emissions and in-situ absorption capacity in the planting production process are quantitatively evaluated using the accounting results; this method combines life cycle assessment method, input-output method, material cycle method and other methods to calculate the carbon and nitrogen source and sink of agricultural planting industry, and comprehensively evaluate the carbon and nitrogen footprint and in-situ absorption capacity; but this program focuses on agricultural areas The technical solution of the carbon-nitrogen evaluation method for the crop industry is mainly aimed at the needs of agricultural areas, so some specific parameters and requirements of the pastoral system are not considered during the design; this limitation makes the application scope of the patent relatively narrow, and it is difficult to adapt to the carbon-nitrogen footprint evaluation needs of different types of regions; at the same time, although a variety of parameters and codes involved in the carbon-nitrogen evaluation method are listed, there is a lack of detailed description of the database construction process; this includes the lack of clarity on the sources of various data, and the lack of localization of parameters and the collection and application of field monitoring data; in the field of environmental accounting, localization of parameters and data based on field monitoring can more accurately reflect the region-specific carbon footprint characteristics.
[0007] Therefore, it has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently to propose a method for calculating the carbon footprint of ecological restoration projects over their entire life cycle, expand the scope of assessment, and achieve a comprehensive and integrated assessment from project construction to the end of ecological restoration to take into account both socio-economic carbon emissions and natural ecological carbon sequestration. Summary of the invention
[0008] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for assessing the carbon footprint of an ecological restoration project over its entire life cycle, aiming to establish a standardized and regionalized accounting database and method, to accurately account for the restoration construction and operation carbon emissions of ecological engineering projects and the ecological carbon fixation effects after restoration, and to comprehensively evaluate the ecological and environmental impact of project investment and the output of restoration benefits.
[0009] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0010] A method for assessing the carbon footprint of an ecological restoration project over its entire life cycle is provided, which comprises the following steps:

[0016] Furthermore, the carbon emissions CE generated by material production 1 The calculation formula is:

[0028] The calculation formula for vegetation carbon sequestration is:

[0030] Where, CF 1 is the increment of vegetation carbon sink after restoration, A k is the area of vegetation k, t is the project implementation period, C Vk is the annual net carbon fixation rate of vegetation k, which is obtained from experiments and theoretical calculations.

[0036] CE=CE 1 +CE 2 +CE 3 +CE 4
[0037] The calculation formula of carbon sink CF is:
[0038] CF=CF 1 +CF 2
[0039] S42: Carbon benefit assessment: When the difference between the carbon sink CF and the total carbon emissions CE is greater than zero, it indicates a carbon surplus for the entire ecological restoration project; when the difference between the carbon sink CF and the total carbon emissions CE is equal to zero, it indicates a carbon balance for the entire ecological restoration project; when the difference between the carbon sink CF and the total carbon emissions CE is less than zero, it indicates a carbon loss for the entire ecological restoration project.
[0040] Furthermore, when the vegetation type at the ecological restoration site is alpine meadow, the calculation formula of the carbon sink CF in step S4 is:
