Towering trees，The vast forest，Stretching for thousands of miles，The forests of the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains contain precious ecological resources。In recent years，Heilongjiang Province actively promotes forestry carbon sink trading，By establishing a standard system、Adopting remote sensing technology and other measures，Promote the realization of the value of ecological products，Turn "carbon bank" into "money bank"，Promote the positive interaction between ecological protection and economic development。

"Have you heard?？The air in our forest was sold for nearly 1 million yuan！”Speaking of the “strange incident” in Huanan Forest District, Longjiang Forestry Forestry District, Heilongjiang Province，Forest ranger Yu Hongbo still remembers it deeply，“I’ve only seen that cutting down trees can make money，I didn’t expect to make money by relying on the forest to ‘breathe’。”

Heilongjiang Province’s forest area is 20.12 million hectares，Accounting for 8% of my country’s forest area.7%，Forest ecosystem carbon storage is about 5.7 billion tons，Developing forestry carbon sinks has huge economic value potential。

　　Establish a standard system Collecting carbon sink data

August，The reporter came to the Xiaogenhe Forest Farm of the Shibazhan Forestry Bureau of Daxinganling Forestry Group Company，Every eye is green。

"Diameter at breast height 52 cm，No pests or diseases，Growth advantage。”Chen Qiming, a staff member of the carbon sink project, introduced while collecting data at the afforestation site，This plot is different from other plots，A mixture of ash and red pine at random heights，Growing better，Can absorb more carbon dioxide。

“We need to select 1 to 2 forest management models with large carbon sink increases，Establish a carbon sink standard system。" Zhang Zhiguo, director of Xiaogenhe Forest Farm's improved seed base, took over the bc game casino reviewBC Game appconversation。After being included in the provincial forest carbon sink pilot，The forest farm has set up 30 sample plots，And by trying various forest management models，Explore the best path to realize the value of forestry carbon sinks。

Different regions、Different tree species、Different forests have different carbon sequestration abilities，To accurately calculate the carbon sink capacity of the forest，Inseparable from the support of scientific standard system。

Currently，Heilongjiang Province has formed a forestry carbon sink standard system framework，includes base classes、A total of 41 standards in technical and management categories，Covered plot selection、Future prediction and other aspects。Planned to 2026，Heilongjiang Province’s forestry carbon sink standard system has been basically established，Carbon sink measurement technology is more standardized；By 2030，The forestry carbon sink standard system is further improved，The level of carbon sink measurement technology and management has been significantly improved。

If the standard system is an operation manual for obtaining data，Methodology is the conversion formula between data，Then，How to summarize data conveniently and display it visually？Heilongjiang Province Forestry Carbon Sequestration Service Center’s “One Picture” of Forestry Carbon Sequestration gives the answer。

“This map brings together the province’s forestland carbon stocks、Forest carbon sink、Forestry carbon sink resources and other information，Provide data support for the development and management of forestry carbon sequestration projects。”The service center instructor randomly clicked on a developed carbon sink project on the picture，Forestry Class、land type name、Predominant tree species、The tree canopy density and other contents are displayed on the screen。

“One map” of forestry carbon sinks is reported by integrating data、Data Management、Multiple functions such as carbon sink calculation and display，Promote carbon sink resource data collection，Promote the development of carbon sink projects、Approval verification and emission reduction trading work。

“The ‘one picture’ of forestry carbon sinks bc game casinobc game apkprovides us with science、Efficient management tools，Help us find out our family background。"Introduced by Cao Guangjun, a technician at the service center，“It was very difficult before，First go to the forest area to collect afforestation certification documents，Verify afforestation plot、Time and other information，Then follow the forest survey and design team to inspect the afforestation site，Reform the basic data table，Finally, the carbon layer is divided according to afforestation time and forest type、Calculate carbon sink。Previously，It takes at least a month to integrate relevant data of a forest area，Now you can output with just one click。”

　　Using remote sensing technology Complete monitoring efficiently

"Before entering the transaction stage，It also needs to be verified by a third-party audit agency designated by the state。"Hu Die, a technician from Heilongjiang Forestry Carbon Assets Investment and Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sengong Carbon Assets Company") told reporters，"This involves project monitoring。”

Traditional project under monitoring，The calculation and evaluation of emission reductions from afforestation projects often rely on manual inspection of each tree，That is, investigators manually measure the trees in the plot one by one，Including diameter at breast height、Key parameters such as tree height。Investigators have to carry dozens of kilograms of monitoring equipment into deep mountains and old forests，One operation takes half a month，Some places are not only difficult to walk on，Also facing the risk of wild animal attacks。

Traditional methods not only require a lot of manpower investment，And it takes a long time。Take a project containing more than 50 plots as an example，Usually 5 to 10 investigators required，Take 3 to 4 weeks to complete。Due to human factors，Data is prone to errors and difficult to trace。"If you have questions about the data of a certain tree，Investigators will have to carry the equipment back to the site to measure again。"Hu Die said。

From 2022，Shengong Carbon Assets Company and Chinese Academy of Forestry Sciences、Northeast Forestry University cooperates to introduce bc game apkBC gameremote sensing technology，Use orthophoto、A method of combining elevation images, etc.，For fixed plot、Conduct scientific monitoring on control plots，Exploring the introduction of remote sensing technology into the carbon sink monitoring system。

“In the past, when doing the forestry carbon sink monitoring scale conversion project，We have tried bc game apkBC gameremote sensing technology，and verified it in forest parameter extraction、Advantages in accuracy and speed in carbon sink calculation。"Hu Die said，This technology emits laser beams and receives echo signals，Realizing high-precision three-dimensional scanning of trees。By processing these scanned data，Can be fast、Accurately obtain the diameter at breast height of trees、Tree height、Crown width and other key parameters，Then calculate the carbon sink amount of the sample plot。

"When manual monitoring was used before，A 400 square meter plot requires one person to spend a whole day，UAVs are now used to carry remote sensing images，Can be done in 10 minutes，Greatly improved the monitoring efficiency of carbon sink projects。"Hu Die said。

Compared with each wood inspection ruler，Remote sensing technology not only greatly improves monitoring efficiency，Reduced manpower investment，And due to the high degree of automation、Little affected by human factors，The monitored data is more accurate，Easier to check and compare。

　　Promote value realization Replace "green content" with "gold content"

There is a proverb circulating in the vast forest areas of Heilongjiang: No wine is needed to welcome guests in the forest area，The green is intoxicating。This "green"，Refers to the air rich in negative oxygen ions。"Now，Good air can be sold for money！" Sun Liang, general manager of Sengong Carbon Assets Company sighed。

June 28, 2022，The first forestry carbon sink standardized online transaction in Heilongjiang Province was successfully completed，Industrial Bank Harbin Branch successfully bid online for the office carbon-neutral forestry carbon sink developed by Forest Industry Carbon Assets Company 1.50,000 tons。

By purchasing the carbon sinks generated by forest management in Huanan Forest District of Longjiang Forestry Forestry District，Industrial Bank Harbin Branch offsets direct bc game apkbc game apkemissions from 29 outlets、Indirect emissions and greenhouse gas emissions from other related but not direct activities。Sun Liang said，This also provides "reassurance" to the majority of workers in forest areas，Life will become more and more exciting。

July this year，The launching ceremony of Heilongjiang Province’s forestry carbon sink trading was held in Harbin，marks the establishment of the forestry carbon sink trading system in Heilongjiang Province。The first batch of "Longjiang Green Carbon" trading agreements were signed at the ceremony，Total amount reaches 428.50,000 yuan。

“Establishing a provincial forestry carbon sink trading system，Provides a good reference for forestry carbon sink work。" said Guo Qingjun, first-level inspector of the Ecological Protection and Restoration Department of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration。

Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering、Professor Li Jian of Northeast Forestry University said，Developing forestry carbon sequestration projects is not only beneficial to improving forestland soil、Improve stand quality、Optimizing the ecological environment，You can also make use of good forest ecological resources，Increase the supply of ecological products and services，Increase forest land output rate，Promote the positive interaction between ecological protection and economic development。

For Heilongjiang forestry workers，Through the carbon sink marketization mechanism，Forestry employees’ efforts in managing and cultivating forests，will be converted into reasonable economic compensation，Promote economic transformation in forest areas and increase employee income，Change "carbon bank" into "money bank"。

In the vast forest, there are mountains of gold and silver.
