Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental remediation, and particularly to a method for establishing a comprehensive carbon sink measurement model based on life cycle and habitat differences. Background Art

[0002] With the increasingly severe global climate change problem, carbon sink technology, as an important means to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, has received extensive attention. Carbon sink is the ability of ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, and soils to absorb and store carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for a long time, which plays a key role in achieving the carbon neutrality goal. However, the existing carbon sink measurement methods have certain limitations, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. Ignoring the impact of the entire life cycle process: Most of the existing carbon sink measurement methods only focus on the positive carbon sink capacity of vegetation photosynthesis and soil carbon fixation, and do not fully consider the carbon emissions generated during the entire life cycle of the project (such as construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning phases). For example, mechanized planting, irrigation, and fertilization during forest afforestation will all bring carbon emissions, which will significantly offset the carbon sink capacity. If only carbon absorption is considered while ignoring the negative carbon emissions in the life cycle, it may lead to an overestimation or distortion of the carbon sink volume.

[0003] 2. Failing to fully reflect the impact of habitat differences on carbon sink capacity: Carbon sink capacity is significantly affected by regional habitat conditions (such as climate, soil, and vegetation type). For example, in arid regions with relatively high average annual temperature and less precipitation, the growth rate of vegetation is slow, and the carbon absorption is much lower than that in humid tropical forest areas. At the same time, different types of soils (such as black soil, sandy soil) have significant differences in carbon sink capacity due to differences in organic matter content and carbon fixation efficiency. Most of the existing carbon sink models are based on idealized or averaged conditions and do not perform weighted adjustments for the regional characteristics of different habitats, thus affecting the accuracy of carbon sink assessment results.

[0004] 3. Lack of quantification of the comprehensive effect of multiple factors on carbon sink capacity: Carbon sink capacity is the result of the comprehensive action of multiple factors, including vegetation type, growth rate, soil properties, life cycle carbon emissions, and climate conditions. Most of the current carbon sink measurement methods estimate carbon sink capacity using a single factor or a simple linear relationship, and fail to construct a comprehensive measurement model. For example, a model that only evaluates carbon sink capacity based on forest coverage rate cannot reflect the potential of soil carbon fixation, nor can it quantify the offset effect of life cycle carbon emissions.

[0005] 4. Limitations of application scenarios: Currently, most carbon sink models are mainly applicable to forest ecosystems and are difficult to be extended to various types of ecosystems such as urban green spaces, wetlands, and farmlands. With the advancement of the carbon neutrality goal, artificial ecosystems (such as urban greening and constructed wetlands) have gradually become an important part of carbon sinks, and there is an urgent need to establish a general carbon sink measurement method that can cover multiple ecosystems.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a method for establishing a comprehensive carbon sink measurement model based on life cycle and habitat differences to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
