Estimation of Carbon Utilization and Prediction of Agricultural Land Use in Urban Agriculture of Nanjing City
[Objective] The carbon effect of urban agricultural land was estimated in Nanjing City to provide development experience for other cities with urban agriculture.[Methods] The carbon emissions from agricultural land in Nanjing City were calculated from 1996 to 2014 based on six main carbon sources of chemical fertilizers
pesticides
agricultural film
agricultural diesel
irrigation and tillage. At the same time
the variations of three main carbon sinks
including forest land
grassland
garden
were explored to illustrate the carbon effects of agricultural land use changes. In the end
the trend of carbon emissions from agricultural land in Nanjing City was predicted based on the gray GM(1
1) model.[Results] From 1996 to 2014
the carbon emissions from agricultural land use in Nanjing City showed a three-stage variation of "rising-fluctuating-steady decline". Chronically
the carbon sinks of both forest land and grass land decreased from 2005 to 2014
but their decreasing rate was different. From the view of regional comparison
due to the city carrying function was different
regional carbon sinks differed greatly. In terms of the carbon effect of the change of agricultural land use
the carbon sequestration in Nanjing City from 2000 to 2008 increased at first and then decreased; and carbon emission caused by construction occupancy experienced a Z-shaped variation. Based on the gray GM(1
1) model
the isobar metric forecasting method was used. It was estimated that the agricultural carbon use in the city will be 1.11×105 t by 2020.[Conclusion] The trend of carbon use in Nanjing City was closely related to the economic development and the process of urban agriculture development. The reductions of forest land and grass land area reduced the original carbon sink effect. And as a result from economic development and urban construction needs
the continued growth in construction land have great impact
which will result in a large number of carbon emissions in Nanjing City.
