Study on assessment of carbon sink capacity of green wedge in large cities and improvement strategies:A case study of Zhangjiabang green wedge in Shanghai
Green wedge is an important carrier to enhance the carbon sink function of big cities.This study takes Zhangjiabang green wedge as an example to explore the carbon sink function and optimization strategy of the largest green wedge in Shanghai.By assessing the carbon sequestration capacity of different land use types such as forest land,grassland and water area,carbon neutrality prediction and carbon benefit calculation were carried out for the whole life carbon sequestration cycle of Zhangjiabang green land.It is expected that regional carbon neutrality goal can be achieved and sustainable and stable carbon benefit can be formed in the future.This study used carbon accounting software for the first time to estimate carbon neutrality in the whole life carbon sink cycle of wedge-shaped green space in large cities,providing scientific guidance for the comprehensive assessment of carbon sink benefits and the whole life cycle construction of green space in megacities under the goal of carbon neutrality.
