Abstract:

In view of the current lack of basic data of mulberry orchards limits the evaluation of carbon sequestration, this study proposed a mulberry garden carbon sequestration estimation model (MCSD) based on statistical data. MCSD was based on relatively complete statistical cocoon production data, and all mulberry orchards in Sichuan were assumed to feed silkworms with mulberry leaves. Taking the shrub model of the forest ecosystem carbon storage measurement guide (SMFC) as a control, this paper compared the difference between the MCSD model and the SMFC model in measuring the contribution of carbon sink of mulberry orchards in Sichuan Province from 2000 to 2018. The results showed that: (1) the average annual carbon density of aboveground part of mulberry in mulberry orchards was estimated to be 10.13 t/hm2, and the carbon reserve of Sichuan mulberry orchards in 2018 was 1.4239 million tons; (2) mulberry leaves and branches were the main sources of carbon sink in mulberry orchard, accounting for 44.44% and 26.65% of the total, respectively; (3) taking 2000 as the base year, MCSD model estimated that the cumulative carbon reserve of Sichuan mulberry orchards from 2000 to 2018 was 16.3625 million tons; (4) by 2018, the cumulative carbon sink contribution of mulberry leaves and mulberry branches accounted for 60.94% and 36.55% of the total, respectively; (5) the calculation result of the SMFC model was 10.73% lower than that of the MCSD model in this study, without considering the harvest year and yield of mulberry leaves, which could not fully reflect the cumulative carbon sink contribution of mulberry orchards. Mulberry carbon sink assessment is an indispensable part to achieve China’s goals of ‘emission peak’ and ‘carbon neutrality’. The results of this study could provide a basis for the future standardized assessment of the carbon sink of mulberry ecosystem in different regions and different utilization modes in China.
