[0002] Ecosystem carbon sequestration is a low-cost and effective method for carbon reduction. While a measure may have net emission reduction potential and meet technical constraints, its feasibility as a carbon sequestration measure is also limited by economic factors. To achieve the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for addressing climate change, it is increasingly urgent to transform carbon sequestration technologies from scientific concepts into practical measures, with particular emphasis placed on the feasibility of carbon sequestration effects in specific terrestrial ecosystems. When economic constraints are considered, the scope of feasible carbon sequestration measures narrows, especially since some ecosystem carbon sequestration measures with emission reduction effects are often economically infeasible. Whether wetland reclamation and conversion of farmland to wetlands can be considered economically feasible carbon sequestration measures remains unclear. In-depth exploration of the economic feasibility of carbon sequestration measures can provide practical and applied evidence for ecosystem management aimed at emission reduction and carbon sequestration enhancement.

[0058] Experimental Example 1: Verification of the accuracy of the evaluation method of this invention in Hengshui Lake Wetland Hengshui Lake Wetland was chosen as the verification target. The wetland had previously adopted carbon sequestration and emission reduction measures such as returning farmland to wetlands, which have been proven to be feasible in practice (the process and results are recorded in the articles "Exploring New Directions for Environmental and Ecological Engineering of Hengshui Lake from the Perspective of Sustainable Development" and "The Return of a Lake Wetland - Hengshui Lake Enters the 2.0 Era").
[0059] The economic feasibility assessment of carbon sequestration and emission reduction measures for Hengshui Lake wetland using the evaluation method of this invention is as follows: 1.

P C =30 yuan / t, respectively, substitute them into formula (1) to calculate the result. 4.95×10 3 Yuan / ha.
[0060] 2. The cost of converting farmland back to wetlands was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =2.80×10 3 Yuan / ha, the reduction in farmland management costs =9.95×10 3 Yuan / ha, respectively, are substituted into formula (2) to calculate the results. 7.15×10 3 Yuan / ha.
[0061] 3. The yield reduction per unit area of farmland was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =7.51 t / ha, crop price C C =1555.84 yuan / t, substituting it into formula (3) to calculate the grain yield reduction loss. It is 1.17 × 10 4 Yuan / ha.
[0062] 4. Combining points 1-3 above, REW-CTW-DPC = 4.12 × 10⁻⁶ 2 Yuan / ha, which is equivalent to a net benefit of 4.12 × 10⁻⁶ yuan / ha for the conversion of farmland back to wetlands in Hengshui Lake. 2Yuan / ha is greater than 0, satisfying equation I, therefore the measure of returning farmland to wetlands in Hengshui Lake is economically feasible.

The reclamation cost was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =2.10×10 3 Yuan / ha, management cost of newly converted farmland =9.95×10 3 Yuan / ha, respectively, are substituted into formula (5) to calculate the results. 1.21×10 4 Yuan / ha.
[0065] 7. The grain yield of newly converted farmland was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =7.51 t / ha, crop price C C =1555.84 yuan / t, substituting these values into formula (6) yields the economic benefit of increased production from newly converted farmland. It is 1.17 × 10 4 Yuan / ha 8. Combining points 5-7 above, REC - CTC + IPC = -9.80 × 10 4 Yuan / ha is less than 0, which does not satisfy Equation II, meaning the net loss from land reclamation is 9.80 × 10⁻⁶. 4 The cost per hectare (yuan / ha) makes reclamation of Hengshui Lake economically unfeasible.
[0066] The assessment results obtained using the assessment method of this invention are consistent with the results recorded in the literature and website "Exploring New Directions for Environmental and Ecological Engineering of Hengshui Lake from the Perspective of Sustainable Development" and "The Return of a Lake Wetland - Hengshui Lake Enters the 2.0 Era".
[0067] Experimental Example 2: Verification of the accuracy of the evaluation method of the present invention in the Sanjiang Plain wetland. The Sanjiang Plain wetland was chosen as the verification target. This wetland had previously adopted carbon sequestration and emission reduction measures such as returning farmland to wetland, and practice has proven that it is feasible (the process and results are recorded in the article "Effect Evaluation and Subjective Game Theory Study of Returning Farmland to Wetland in Heilongjiang - Taking the Sanjiang Plain Wetland as an Example").
[0068] The economic feasibility assessment of carbon sequestration and emission reduction measures for the Sanjiang Plain wetlands using the evaluation method of this invention is carried out in the following steps: 1. Using the method or data described in the article "A Method and System for Calculating Net Greenhouse Gas Budget (NGB) of Wetlands," the PNGCW of the Sanjiang Plain is obtained as 5.39 × 10⁻⁶. 3 t / ha, carbon credit prices are obtained through data from the "State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2025" website. P C =30 yuan / t, respectively, substitute them into formula (1) to calculate the result. 1.62×10 5 Yuan / ha.

The cost of converting farmland back to wetlands was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =2.80×10 3 Yuan / ha, the reduction in farmland management costs =9.95×10 3 Yuan / ha, respectively, are substituted into formula (2) to calculate the results. 7.15×10 3 Yuan / ha.
[0070] 3. The yield reduction per unit area of farmland was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =7.51 t / ha, crop price C C =1555.84 yuan / t, substituting it into formula (3) to calculate the grain yield reduction loss. It is 1.17 × 10 4 Yuan / ha.
[0071] 4. Combining 1-3 above, REW-CTW-DPC = 1.57 × 10 5 Yuan / ha, greater than 0, satisfies Equation I, that is, the net benefit of converting farmland back to wetlands in the Sanjiang Plain is 1.57 × 10 5 Yuan / ha, therefore the measure of returning farmland to wetlands in the Sanjiang Plain is economically feasible.
[0072] 5. Using the methods or data described in the article "A Method and System for Calculating Net Greenhouse Gas Budget (NGB) of Wetlands," the net greenhouse gas budget (NGB) of the Sanjiang Plain was obtained. =-1.29×10 2 t / ha, carbon credit prices are obtained through data from the "State and Trends of CarbonPricing 2025" website. P C =30 yuan / t, respectively, substitute them into formula (4) to calculate. -3.88×10 3 Yuan / ha.

The reclamation cost was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =2.10×10 3 Yuan / ha, management cost of newly converted farmland =9.95×10 3 Yuan / ha, respectively, are substituted into formula (5) to calculate the results. 1.21×10 4 Yuan / ha.
[0074] 7. The grain yield of newly converted farmland was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =7.51 t / ha, crop price C C =1555.84 yuan / t, substituting these values into formula (6) yields the economic benefit of increased production from newly converted farmland. It is 1.17 × 10 4 Yuan / ha.
[0075] 8. Combining points 5-7 above, REC - CTC + IPC = -4.25 × 10⁻⁶ 3 Yuan / ha, less than 0, does not satisfy Equation II, i.e., the net loss from reclamation in the Sanjiang Plain is 4.25 × 10⁻⁶. 3 The land reclamation measures in the Sanjiang Plain are not economically feasible due to the cost of RMB per ha.
[0076] The evaluation results obtained using the evaluation method of this invention are consistent with the results recorded in the literature "Effect Evaluation and Subjective Game Theory Study of Returning Farmland to Wetlands in Heilongjiang Province - A Case Study of Wetlands in the Sanjiang Plain".

P C =30 yuan / t, respectively, substitute them into formula (1) to calculate. 3.63×10 5 Yuan / ha.
[0079] 2. The cost of converting farmland back to wetlands was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =2.80×10 3 Yuan / ha, the reduction in farmland management costs =9.95×10 3 Yuan / ha, respectively, are substituted into formula (2) to calculate the results. 7.15×10 3 Yuan / ha.
[0080] 3. The yield reduction per unit area of farmland was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =7.51 t / ha, crop price C C =1555.84 yuan / t, substituting it into formula (3) to calculate the grain yield reduction loss. It is 1.17 × 10 4 Yuan / ha.
[0081] 4. Combining points 1-3 above, REW-CTW-DPC = 3.58 × 10⁻⁶ 5 Yuan / ha, greater than 0, satisfies Equation I, that is, the net benefit of returning farmland to wetlands in Momoge is 3.58 × 10 5 Yuan / ha, therefore the Momoge farmland conversion to wetland is economically feasible.
[0082] 5. Obtain the net greenhouse gas budget (NGB) of Momoge using the methods or data described in the article "A Method and System for Calculating Net Greenhouse Gas Budget (NGB) of Wetlands". =-7.56×10 2 t / ha, carbon credit prices are obtained through data from the "State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2025" website. P C=30 yuan / t, respectively, substitute them into formula (4) to calculate. -2.27×10 4 Yuan / ha.
[0083] 6. The reclamation cost was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =2.10×10 3 Yuan / ha, management cost of newly converted farmland =9.95×10 3 Yuan / ha, respectively, are substituted into formula (5) to calculate the results. 1.21×10 4 Yuan / ha.
[0084] 7. The grain yield of newly converted farmland was calculated using data recorded in the "Compilation of National Agricultural Product Cost and Benefit Data". =7.51 t / ha, crop price C C =1555.84 yuan / t, substituting these values into formula (6) yields the economic benefit of increased production from newly converted farmland. It is 1.17 × 10 4 Yuan / ha.
[0085] 8. Combining points 5-7 above, REC - CTC + IPC = -2.30 × 10 4 Yuan / ha is less than 0, which does not satisfy Equation II, meaning the net loss from the Momoge reclamation is 2.30 × 10⁻⁶. 4 The cost per hectare (yuan / ha) makes the Momoge reclamation project economically unfeasible.
[0086] The evaluation results obtained using the evaluation method of this invention are consistent with the results recorded on the websites "A Chronicle of Wetland Protection and Restoration Projects in Jilin Province" and "Ecological Momoge Restores the Beautiful Scenery of Ten Thousand Birds Flying".
[0087] The results of previous reports on the wetlands where the above three experimental examples are located are completely consistent with the results of the evaluation by this method. The evaluation method and system of the present invention are comparable, indicating that the feasibility of carbon sequestration and emission reduction measures needs to be considered from an economic perspective. Therefore, the evaluation method and system of the present invention for assessing the economic feasibility of carbon sequestration and emission reduction measures are reliable.
