Study on Ecological Carbon Sink Regionalization of Land Use in Shenzhen City

Abstract:

This paper is to propose a method of ecological carbon sink regionalization in the view of GHG (greenhouse gas) emission reduction, which could provide scientific theory basis for development and utilization of urban land resources, ecological environment construction, biodiversity conservation, the industry layout and formulation of the regional sustainable development strategy. Based on the existing researches foundation, this study takes Shenzhen as a typical case to put forward a method for carbon sink regionalization of urban land use with further quantitative evaluation of ecosystem carbon storage (density), carbon sources/sinks function and carbon sink potential of Shenzhen city. The results show that: Shenzhen ecological carbon sink is regionalized into six categories 55 regions, including 15 intensive carbon sink regions, 17 medium carbon sink regions, 10 weak carbon sink regions, 4 carbon neutral regions, 5 medium carbon source regions and 4 intensive carbon source regions.
