Forest Carbon Sink Resource Asset Evaluation with Case Study of Fujian Province in China

Abstract

Since the Industrial Revolution, the productivity of human society has been qualitatively enhanced. At the same time, with the development of the social economy, the excessive pursuit of economic interests of mankind neglects the protection of ecological environment, the hole in the ozone layer, the rise of temperature, sea level rise, and other ecological problems. At the same time, the atmospheric carbon dioxide content has risen sharply, the global carbon cycle has lost its balance. The greenhouse effect is the most urgent ecological problem facing mankind. Against this background, countries have to start studying countermeasures to deal with global warming. Forest carbon sinks are important for mitigating global warming and offsetting carbon dioxide emissions. Forest carbon sink has low cost, and is easy to realize. The study of the economic value and impact of forest carbon sink factors can help provide government agencies at all levels and forestry management departments with a scientific and reasonable management basis, so as to improve the utilization rate of carbon sink and China’s voice on global climate issues. How to quantify the asset value of carbon sink resources is a hot issue today, the follows will use the relevant knowledge theory of asset assessment to discuss the characteristics of forest carbon sink resources and value composition.
