Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent detection, and in particular to a regional ecosystem carbon sink function assessment system. Background Art

[0002] With the intensification of global climate change and the increasing prominence of ecological and environmental problems, accurately assessing the carbon sink function of regional ecosystems has become an important task in current ecological and environmental protection. The carbon sink function refers to the ability of ecosystems to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and store it in vegetation and soil, thereby mitigating climate change. However, traditional assessment methods often rely on single remote sensing data or ground observation data, which makes it difficult to fully reflect the carbon sink status of ecosystems and their influencing factors.

[0003] At present, although there are some carbon sink function assessment methods based on remote sensing technology and ecological models, these methods still have many shortcomings. For example, some methods only consider vegetation photosynthesis, but ignore the impact of key processes such as soil respiration on carbon sink function; some methods rely on complex ecological models, but the model parameters are difficult to obtain accurately, resulting in greater uncertainty in the assessment results. In addition, the existing methods are also inefficient when processing large-scale, multi-source data, and it is difficult to meet the real-time and accuracy requirements of regional ecosystem carbon sink function assessment.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient and accurate regional ecosystem carbon sink function assessment system and method that can integrate multiple data sources, consider multiple key processes of the ecosystem. The system should be able to make full use of multiple information sources such as remote sensing data and meteorological data, and use advanced mathematical models and algorithms to achieve a comprehensive assessment of the regional ecosystem carbon sink function. At the same time, the system should also be flexible and scalable to meet the assessment needs of different regions and ecosystems, and provide strong support for ecological protection, climate change response, and the formulation of sustainable development strategies.

[0005] Based on the problems and shortcomings existing in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention proposes a new regional ecosystem carbon sink function assessment system and method, which aims to achieve a more comprehensive, accurate and efficient assessment of the regional ecosystem carbon sink function by integrating multiple data sources, optimizing the assessment model, and improving processing efficiency.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the applicant proposed a regional ecosystem carbon sink function assessment system. Summary of the invention

This paper will deeply analyze the technical details, implementation steps and expected effects of a regional ecosystem carbon sink function assessment system, in order to provide a reference for researchers and decision makers in related fields.

[0038] 1. System Overview and Architecture

[0039] This system aims to comprehensively and accurately evaluate the carbon sink function of regional ecosystems by integrating multiple data sources such as remote sensing data and meteorological data, and using advanced mathematical models and algorithms. The system architecture mainly includes data acquisition, data processing, vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) estimation, soil heterotrophic respiration consumption (Rh) estimation, net ecosystem productivity (NEP) calculation, result output, and optional climate status analysis, user customization, data verification and policy simulation modules.

[0040] 2. Technical Details and Key Modules

[0041] Data acquisition and processing

[0042] The data acquisition module is responsible for collecting multiple data sources including remote sensing data (such as MODIS NDVI products) and meteorological data (such as daily observed temperature, rainfall, sunshine hours, etc.). The data processing module pre-processes the raw data, including data correction, format conversion, and outlier removal, to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data. Through spatial interpolation, resampling and other methods, data from different sources and different resolutions are unified to the same spatiotemporal scale, providing a reliable data basis for subsequent analysis.

[0043] Estimation of vegetation net primary productivity (NPP)

[0044] Based on the CASA model, this system can estimate the net primary productivity of vegetation in each pixel. The CASA model comprehensively considers two key factors: photosynthetically active radiation (APAR) and actual light energy utilization rate (ε). APAR is calculated from total solar radiation and FPAR, and ε is affected by temperature stress factors, water stress factors and εmax. Through this model, the system can accurately reflect the productivity of different vegetation types under different environmental conditions.

[0045] Estimation of soil heterotrophic respiration consumption (Rh)

[0046] Using the regression equation between temperature, precipitation and carbon emissions, the system can estimate the respiration consumption of soil heterotrophic organisms in each pixel. This module is based on a large amount of historical data and ecological principles to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the estimation results. By considering the impact of climate factors on soil respiration, the system can more comprehensively evaluate the carbon sink function of the ecosystem.

[0047] Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP) calculation

[0048] By subtracting the respiration consumption of soil heterotrophic organisms from the net primary productivity of vegetation, the system can calculate the net ecosystem productivity of each pixel. NEP is an important indicator for measuring the carbon sink function of an ecosystem. The larger its value, the stronger the ability of the ecosystem to absorb and store carbon. The system can generate a spatial distribution map and a time change trend map of NEP to provide users with intuitive evaluation results.

[0049] Result output and optional modules

[0050] The result output module displays the calculated NEP data in a graphical or tabular form, which is convenient for users to intuitively understand the distribution and changes of the carbon sink function of the regional ecosystem. In addition, the system also provides optional modules such as climate condition analysis, user customization, data verification and policy simulation to meet the specific needs of different users and research projects. For example, the climate condition analysis module can display the spatial distribution and changing trends of the multi-year average rainfall, average temperature and NDVI in the study area; the policy simulation module can simulate the impact of different policies or management measures on the carbon sink function of the regional ecosystem, and provide support for the formulation of ecological protection and climate change response strategies.

[0051] 3. Implementation steps and expected results

[0052] The implementation steps of this system include data collection and integration, data preprocessing, model operation and calculation, result display and analysis, as well as optional climate status analysis, user customization and data verification, and policy simulation. Through these steps, the system can achieve a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the carbon sink function of regional ecosystems.

[0053] In terms of expected effects, this system aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of carbon sink function assessment and provide a scientific basis for ecological protection, climate change response and the formulation of sustainable development strategies. By integrating multiple data sources and using advanced mathematical models and algorithms, the system can more comprehensively reflect the carbon sink function of the ecosystem and its influencing factors, providing strong support for research and application in related fields. At the same time, the flexibility and scalability of the system also enable it to adapt to the needs of different users and research projects, and promote the in-depth development of regional ecosystem carbon sink function assessment.
