Abstract:

The biomass, carbon sequestration ability and surface characteristics of greenhouse gas emissions of the reed ecosystem were studied in this paper. This reed ecosystem locates in the western beach of Chongming Island which is situated in Yangtze River Estuary. The research target of reed covers about 300 hm2. The biomass was measured by harvest method and the greenhouse gas emission rates were detected by static boxes-gas chromatography. The results showed that the scope of reeds biomass is between 9.10-21.11 kg·m-2, and the average value is 16.85 kg·m-2. The carbon sequestration range between in 4.04-9.38 kg·m-2, and the average is 7.48 kg·m-2. The total carbon sequestration of this reed ecosystem is about 9810 t·a-1, and the net total carbon sequestration is about 8091.58 t·a-1. These results indicated that reed ecosystem of wetland in mid-latitude has strong carbon sequestration ability, and net of carbon appears in the growing season.
