其他摘要 | The study aims to estimate carbon sequestration rate and potential of typical
forests in Shaanxi, through field investigation, laboratory analysis and data processing
analysis. We established coupled relationships between cabon pools of arbor layer and
undergrowth vegetation layer, vegetation layer and litter layer, aboveground layer and
soil layer in major forest ecosystems in Shaanxi. Besides, we explored their carbon
sequestration potentials initialily.The main results were as follows.
(1) The average carbon sequestration rates of the young forest, middle-aged forest
and near-mature forest were 3.06 , 5.59 and 2.09 t·hm -2 ·a -1 , respectively. The average
carbon sequestration rates of vegetation layer, litter layer and soil layer were 3.38,
0.18 and 0.06 t·hm -2 ·a -1 , respectively. The carbon sequestration rate of soil layer was
lower than vegetation layer and litter layer, which had a strong carbon sequestration
capacity and were the main contributors to carbon sequestration of forest ecosystems.
The average carbon sequestration rates of major forest types in Shaanxi manifested as:
Populus spp (11.32 t·hm -2 ·a -1 ) > P.armandii et al (4.59 t·hm -2 ·a -1 ) > Quercus
acutissima Carruth et al (2.88 t·hm -2 ·a -1 ) > Quercus variabilis (2.52 t·hm -2 ·a -1 ) >
Pinus tabulaefomis (2.49 t·hm -2 ·a -1 ) > Robinia pseudoacacia (2.44 t·hm -2 ·a -1 ) >
Quercus liaotungensis (2.00 t·hm -2 ·a -1 ) > Betula spp (1.65 t·hm -2 ·a -1 ), Broad-leaf
forest (3.72 t·hm -2 ·a -1 ) > Coniferous forest (3.48 t·hm -2 ·a -1 ).
(2) The average carbon sequestration potentials of the young forest, middle-aged
forest and near-mature forest were 149.37 , 110.61 and 86.42 t·hm -2 , respectively. The
carbon sequestration potential decreased gradually as stand age increased. The carbon
sequestration potentials of the vegetation layer and the soil layer were 59.63 and
54.17 t·hm -2 , accounted for 50.8% and 46.1% of that of the entire forest ecosystem.
The carbon sequestration potential of major forest types in Shaanxi manifested as:
Populus spp (216.91 t·hm -2 ) > Quercus variabilis (139.04 t·hm -2 ) > P.armandii et al
(107.11 t·hm -2 ) > Quercus liaotungensis (102.10 t·hm -2 ) > Betula spp (96.94 t·hm -2 ) >
Quercus acutissima Carruth et al (95.54 t·hm -2 ) > Robinia pseudoacacia (92.50
t·hm -2 ) > Pinus tabulaefomis (89.37 t·hm -2 ).
(3)The carbon sequestraition capacities of the near-mature forest was lower than
that of the young forest and the middle-aged forest, but its carbon sequestration capacity cannot be ignored. In order to enhance the ability to sequester carbon, we
should strengthen the management of the near-mature forests, such as harvest
reasonably. The carbon sequestration rate of the vegetation layer was higher than that
of the litter layer and the soil layer significantly. Meanwhile, the carbon sequestration
potential of the vegetation layer was higher than that of the litter layer respectively.
The carbon sequestration capacity of the vegetation layer was the strongest among
different forest ecosystem layers.
