摘要:

城市土地利用显著改变了原有生态系统的结构和功能, 特别是建成区植被的碳吸收和碳储存能力。该研究通过实地调查和测量, 估算城市建成区内乔木、灌木、草坪的生物量和净初级生产力(net primary productivity, NPP), 该方法考虑了园林管理(如修剪或割草)对建成区碳吸收和碳储存的影响。结果表明, 台州城市树木个体生物量年增量是野外森林中同类树木的近2倍; 乔木修剪量占乔木NPP的1/3。目前台州市建成区的植被碳吸收能力为2.1 × 103 kg C·hm-2·a-1(其中乔木的贡献为64%, 灌木为9%, 草坪为27%), 低于本地野外森林同面积的碳吸收能力; 通过与野外常绿阔叶林比较发现, 增加台州建成区的绿化覆盖率(从23%提高到46%)即可补偿因城市扩张引起的植被碳吸收能力的损失。

Abstract:

Aims Urban land use has dramatically changed ecosystem functions especially carbon sequestration and storage in the built-up area. Our objective was to assess carbon sequestration and storage by estimating the biomass and net primary productivity (NPP) of urban vegetation including trees, shrubs and lawns with consideration of the effects of garden management (pruning and mowing).

Methods Biomass and NPP from all trees, shrubs and lawns were estimated from 346 random quadrats. Allometric equations were used to calculate tree biomass from diameter at breast height and total height. An increment borer was used to measure trunk increment. Biomass and NPP from shrubs and lawns were estimated by destructive sampling. Management activities were recorded through actual measurements and the records of gardeners.

Important findings Trunk growth rate of individual urban trees is two times that in native forest. Pruning accounts for 30% of tree NPP. Carbon sequestration per unit of Taizhou built-up area is estimated to be 2.1 × 103 kg C·hm-2·a-1(with trees, shrubs and lawns contributing 64%, 9% and 27%, respectively), which is lower than native forest. We infer that the carbon sequestration ability of Taizhou built-up area could meet the level of native evergreen broad-leaved forest if vegetation coverage is increased from 23% to 46%.
