Unofficial AI-generated summary based on the public title and abstract. Not an official translation.

🔬研究者:This paper offers a quantitative tool for forest carbon accounting using the InVEST model, useful for researchers in ecosystem carbon dynamics and trade-off analysis.

🏢実務担当者:Forest managers and corporate sustainability teams can apply the framework to assess carbon sequestration potential and balance timber production with carbon storage.

🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can use the results to inform forest carbon accounting standards and disclosure requirements, supporting carbon neutrality goals.

Under the background of responding to climate change and promoting carbon neutrality in the world, the carbon sequestration capacity of forest ecosystems and their derivatives has increasingly become the focus of attention. This paper aims to build a comprehensive framework that integrates ecological models and accounting methods to support accurate accounting and management decisions for forest carbon sinks. Based on the InVEST model, combined with the biological inventory model, storage change model and ecosystem trade-off model, this study quantifies the carbon sequestration potential of forests and their products under different harvesting intensity scenarios, and analyses the tradeoff relationship between carbon storage, timber production, biodiversity and other multi-objectives. The results show that sustainable forest management needs to seek a balance between multiple objectives, and a unified carbon accounting standard and a sound information disclosure mechanism are the key to connecting ecological values and management decisions. This study provides a quantitative tool and theoretical reference for the government and enterprises to formulate scientific forest carbon management strategies.
