Abstract

Abstract:

Forest carbon sinks are not "a drop in the bucket", but a tool of national importance, the forest carbon sink and its contribution to carbon neutrality have become a global consensus. The formation, promotion, monitoring, measurement, verification, and trading of forest carbon sinks have become an important field of scientific research and social development. Firstly, the characteristics of the human-carbon relationship during the course of human civilization were explored. Secondly, some basic problems in the whole chain of forest carbon sinks are discussed, including the impact of forest definition on carbon sink measurement, carbon source-sink conversion in forests, the boundary of carbon sink measurement, the monitoring, reporting, and accounting of carbon sink, as well as the basic requirements of carbon sink project development and carbon sink trade. etc. The challenges, potential, and paths of forest carbon sink enhancement in China also were analyzed in this review, and it is believed that we should further strengthen the construction of scientific and technological innovation systems for forest carbon sequestration to better understand the carbon sequestration mechanism in the process of ecological restoration, forest management, and forest utilization. It is necessary to further optimize the design and application of social institutions and rules, technologies, and cultural systems related to the carbon cycle of forest ecosystems, to support the implementation of the national "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" strategy and the development of ecological civilization.

Key words: forest carbon sink, monitoring and accounting, increasing carbon sink and reducing emission, disturbance, carbon sink trading, forest certification, value realization of ecological products, scientific and technological innovation
