中国林业政策对减排温室气体的贡献

The Contribution of China's Forestry Policy to Offset Green House Gas Emission

新中国成立以来,中国政府制定了一系列正确的林业政策、林业发展战略、林业行动计划和保护措施,对减少温室气体的排放起到了重要作用。根据第五次全国森林资源清查资料,对中国森林碳汇功能计算分析结果表明,到1998年,中国森林除了吸收森林采伐利用所释放的CO2外,还从大气中净吸收并贮存4519×103tC,相当于吸收了1998年全国能源消耗释放7.4×108tC的6.11%,占北半球森林年平均吸收5×108tC的9.04%,对于只占世界森林面积4.62%的中国森林对维护全球生态平衡作出了重要贡献。

Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese government has formulated a series of proper forestry policies, strategies for forestry development, forestry action plans and protective measures, which play a very effective role in reducing the emission of green house gas. Based on the national forest inventory data surveyed by the Forestry Ministry of P.R. China from 1994 to 1998, the current carbon sink of forest in China was estimated. The results showed that until 1998 China's forest not only absorbed the carbon released from wood cut, but also absorbed and stored 4519×103 ton C, which is equal to 6.11% of the national energy consumption of 7.4×108 ton C, and takes up 9.04% of the annual average carbon sequestration of 5×108 ton C in the Northern Hemisphere. With 4.62% of gross area of world forest, China's forest made an important contribution to global carbon balance. 
