The invention provides a
moisture management method for
carbon sequestration and
carbon sink increase for wetlands, which includes: firstly, selecting a meadow or
marsh with logged water on the surface, determining environmental factors of the wed land, determining
water content of soil, taking soil for test 5-15cm below surface
vegetation on early May, beginning of the year, loading the fresh soil sample below the
vegetation with a soil box, and
drying the soil to constant weight at about 80 DEG C, wherein
soil water content = soil
dry weight-soil
dry weight / soil dry weightX100%, and the
soil water content is required to be 40%-70%; and secondly, determining types of the
wetland soil, determining the types to be meadow soil, Baijiang soil or
marsh soil, regulating
moisture, selecting a
water source from underground water or unpolluted river and lake
fresh water, and irrigating by direct
water diversion through ditches or pumping underground water with a water pump. By the
moisture management method, covered rate of the
wetland can be increased evidently,
vegetation carbon sequestration can be improved,
soil carbon storage can be increased, emission of
greenhouse gases is reduced,investment is low, cost is low, and the
moisture management method is highly applicable.
