| Forest carbon sink of the northeast and Inner Mongolia forest areas, Chinese largest state-owned forest areas, plays an important role in carbon fixation and emission reduction with its low cost, easy operation, great potentiality and other unique advantages. This paper systematically calculated the potentiali of forest carbon sink of the northeast and Inner Mongolia forest areas from 2003 to 2011 with the method of forest volume extension. On the base, the potential value of forest carbon sink of the northeast and Inner Mongolia forest areas was evaluated in terms of the price of forest carbon sink. The result shows that the potentiality of forest carbon sink of the northeast and Inner Mongolia forest areas is huge.It’s estimated that the potential of carbon sink of the northeast and Inner Mongolia forest areas reaches up to 2.552 billiontons in 2011. The potential value of forest carbon sink of the northeast and Inner Mongolia forest areas will be hugethrough the trade of carbon sink. However, the decline of plantation stock has become the major restrictive factor in thegrowth of carbon sink of the northeast and Inner Mongolia forest areas. To avoicl this problem, this paper put forward the policy path to promote the growth of the carbon sink of Northeast and Inner Mongolia forest areas from the aspects of the internal potential and external market environment. On one hand, the plantation stock should be increased through the improvement of level of forest management. On the other hand, the trade of forest carbon sink should be promoted to realizeits potential value. |
