Abstract:
Compared with the calculation of conventional forest carbon storage, the calculation of forest ecosystem carbon storage and its economic value after mine ecological restoration pays more attention to the effect and influence of restoration measures. At present, there are few studies on vegetation carbon storage accounting and value estimation of different meliorate measures after ecological restoration in China. In this study, the relative growth model method was used to calculate plant biomass, and the biomass of all organs or whole trees in each plot was calculated according to the field survey data and the biomass model, and then multiplied by the measured carbon content data to obtain the carbon storage per unit area of each plot. At the same time, the carbon price average price of multiple carbon trading markets at home and abroad is used to estimate the carbon storage value of the ecological restoration vegetation in the Fengshan Park. The study found that: (1) In terms of the two ecological benefit indicators of species diversity and vegetation coverage, the improvement effects of three ecological restoration measures, namely, hanging net spray seeding, step method and fish-scale pit method, are as follows: fish scale pit method > step method > hanging net spray seeding method. (2) The tree layer carbon storage of the fish scale pit method was the largest, which was 646.58 tons; in the shrub layer, the carbon storage of the fish scale pit method is also the highest, which is 22.58 tons. In terms of the average carbon storage value per unit area, the fish scale pit method is the highest, which is
2173.71 yuan ha
−1; hanging net spray seeding method is the second, 807.91 yuan ha
−1; the bench cut method is the lowest,
1467.56 yuan ha
−1. The plant biomass and carbon storage were calculated by sample plot investigating method, and it was concluded that the fish-scale pit method had significant advantages in improving biomass and carbon storage. (3)Under the domestic carbon trading price, the carbon storage value of the fish scale pit method is the highest, which is
34301.14 yuan; under the international carbon trading price, the fish scale pit method has the highest value of
13973.80 yuan.These results show that the fish-scale pit method not only performs well in ecological restoration, but also has high economic value. Mine ecological restoration can not only reconstruct the damaged vegetation ecosystem, but also produce a large amount of carbon storage, thus supporting the construction of a dual-carbon society.
