The Carbon Survey and Monitoring Plan for Terrestrial Biosphere Land Uses and the Aquapu areas in Ta

Absrtact	This project is a continuous project of “the Carbon Survey and Monitoring Plan for Terrestrial Biosphere Land Uses and the air quality purification areas （the Aquapu Areas）in Taiwan.“ This project kept updating the international documents on carbon sequestration of terrestrial biosphere and land uses. In addition, this project proposes the strategies for land use policies, regulations and the establishment of the Aquapu Area to increase the benefits of tree carbon storage/sequestration in Taiwan. The Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) has successfully given impetus to establish the air quality purification area for many years. Therefore, in order to scientifically quantify and more understand about the contribution and incremental values of carbon sequestration in Aquapu area, this project continues to investigate the trees in urban parks and the Aquapu Area and estimate their carbon sequestration amount and growth rate. In addition to survey, analyze, and compare the carbon sequestration amount of three survey sample sites, this project also analyzes the difference of tree carbon sequestration amount in different geographical zones (northern, central, and Southern Taiwan) and lists better carbon sequestration tree species based on the survey result. The investigation method also follows IPCC’s professional requirement. The results of these investigations will not only help set up the local database on tree carbon growth rate, but also provide suggestions for species selection in order to maximize the benefits of carbon sink in the future. Furthermore, the outcomes of this research can be applied to estimate the carbon sequestration amount of trees in Taiwan and the management strategies of carbon sinks. This project also surveys and analyzes the growth rate and carbon storage amount of the trees planted for the the Festival of〝Plant a Tree, Leave your roots in Taiwan〞,organized by the EPA. Asides from above stated works, this project also installed an instant internet visual surveillance system to monitor the sand storm status caused by dry river beds.
