The Coordinated Development of Plant Ecological Restoration and Carbon Sequestration in Coastal Saline-alkali Land of Jiangsu Province:Thoughts and Suggestions
Jiangsu Province is rich in saline-alkali lands which have fragile ecological environment.It is an inevitable choice to construct arti-ficial forests restoring the ecological environment as well as increasing the ability of carbon sequestration,which could positively contribute to a-chieve the goals of ecological civilization construction and carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.This paper comprehensively analyzed the real-istic backgrounds of promoting the coordinated development of plant ecological restoration and carbon sequestration in saline-alkali land of Jian-gsu as well as the faced problems.And then,countermeasures to realize the coordinated development of plant ecological restoration and carbon sequestration were proposed such as clarifying the coastal plant resources,breeding salt-tolerant tree species with high carbon fixation,impro-ving the evaluation system of ecosystem functions,building a collaborative thematic database of coordinated development of plant ecological res-toration and carbon sequestration.In short,these findings could provide technical supports for ecological restoration and maximization of forestry carbon sequestration,and then accelerate the achievement of construction of"beautiful Jiangsu"and the realization of"carbon neutrality".
