Analysis of forest carbon storage and carbon sequestration capacity in Taizhou
Based on the annual monitoring data of forest resources in Taizhou,the carbon storage of different forest types in Taizhou was calculated by using the conversion factor continuous function method and the forest carbon sequestration capaci-ty was analyzed.The results showed that the total forest carbon storage in Taizhou was 49236.65 t,including 477255.50 t in arbor forest,6367.10 t in bamboo forest and 8743.91 t in shrub forest.Among the four districts,Jiangyan exhibited the highest levels of both forest carbon storage(205631.75 t)and carbon density(42.60 t/hm2)while Hailing had the lowest values at 56,942.26 t for forest carbon storage and 21.54 t/hm2 for carbon density.In different arbor forests,other hard broad-leaved species accounted for approximately 39.35%of total arbor forest carbon storage,followed by camphor tree(18%)and poplar(14.38%).The carbon density of poplar was the highest,which was 62.40 t/hm2,followed by camphor tree with 57.84 t/hm2.Compared with the estimation results of forest resource inventory data in 2010,the forest carbon storage increased by 53242.65 t,and the forest carbon density also increased by 13.15 t/hm2.Compared to 2010,Jiangy-an District experienced a 53%decrease in forest area,yet witnessed a 210%increase in carbon density,The forest carbon density in Hailing District increased slowly.In general,the carbon sequestration capacity of forest resources in Taizhou City has been significantly enhanced,with broad-leaved species playing a predominant role in forest carbon storage.Future ef-forts could be focused on adjusting the composition of tree species and optimizing the structure of forest age to further im-prove the forests'carbon sequestration potential in Taizhou.
