A Practical Method for Measuring the Carbon Sink Capacity of Major Crops Based on Regional Cultivated Land Resources—Taking Anhui Province as an Example
In order to solve the problem that the coefficients of the model estimation method lack the adaptability to specific regions,this study proposed a practical method based on the measurement of carbon sink capacity of major crops of regional arable land resources,which used di-rect measurements of intact crop plants to measure carbon sinks.This method could better calculate the carbon sink capacity of arable land re-sources in specific regions and provide a more suitable measured numerical basis for the evaluation of carbon sequestration capacity of cultivat-ed land resources according to local characteristics.The practical measurement method proposed in this study was applied in Anhui Province,and its validity was verified by comparing with the results of the estimation method.Specific areas could be further optimized according to the need to produce a carbon sink manual that met the characteristics of local arable land resources.
