The Basic Logic of Carbon Sink Capacity Construction of Landscape Architecture
According to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the average temperature from 2011 to 2020 increased by 1.09℃ compared with pre-industrial period.The “double carbon” action is an important measure to deal with global warming.As of April 2021, more than 130 countries and regions have proposed “zero carbon” or “carbon neutrality” climate goals.Carbon neutrality is generally understood from the perspective of carbon sources (carbon emissions) and carbon sinks (carbon sequestration), including natural and man-made processes.Ecosystems play an important role in carbon sequestration.Most forests in China are in their infancy, and carbon sequestration can be carried out continuously in the right age of trees.At the same time, there is still a lot of afforestation area, and the carbon of grassland, wetland and farmland soil is mostly in the unsaturated state,so the carbon sequestration potential of the ecosystem is huge.As an important component of urban ecosystem, landscape architecture is the only living infrastructure with carbon sink function in the city, and also the main component of carbon neutrality in high-density population area.
Broadly speaking, landscape architecture is an ecosystem containing forest,wetland, green space, water and other elements in an urban area.Its contribution to carbon neutrality is mainly achieved through reducing the source and increasing the sink of vegetation, soil and water.The plant configuration is dominated by zonal native plants with strong adaptability, resistance and carbon sequestration ability.Factors such as plant life, size, ratio of evergreen to deciduous, ratio of young to old, community interaction and conflict, ground and aerial are considered comprehensively.Soil carbon sequestration capacity is significantly stronger than vegetation carbon sequestration capacity.Soil carbon sequestration capacity can be fully exerted by improving soil fertility, biological activity and physical structure.Water quality, aquatic plant configuration,underwater soil and so on are the key contents of water carbon sink.In terms of the spatial layout of landscape architecture, under the “double carbon” policy and the concept of urban park construction, the integrated development of green space, woodland and wetland should be promoted, the layout system should be optimized, and the carbon sink capacity of the ecosystem should be continuously enhanced.From the perspective of management and control, carbon emissions and energy consumption should be controlled and reduced during the construction, management and maintenance of landscape architecture, so as to achieve the goal of “l(fā)ow maintenance” and seek carbon balance.
The topic of this issue, “Scientific and Technology Innovation Promotes Carbon Neutrality”, covers the discussion from macro planning to micro practice, and further clarifies the basic logic and technical requirements of landscape architecture for carbon reduction and sink increase of landscape architecture under the goal of carbon neutrality.It was proposed that the “double carbon” strategy is to change the runway instead of overtaking the original road, and it needs to obtain the leading role in the new round of industrial revolution through a series of subversive changes.30 relevant planning actions in 11 countries were analyzed, and multi-scale precise efficiency planning strategies and multi-level evaluation and control indicators were differentiated.Based on the green space resilience and carbon reduction collaborative paradigm and design strategy of natural solutions, the dynamic adaptability paradigm and seven principle strategies of the whole cycle iterative evolution were proposed.Besides, the i-Tree Streets model was used to evaluate and calculate the comprehensive benefit of low carbon of street space by sampling street trees of urban streets, and the suggestions on refinement and improvement of street space were put forward.
Achieving carbon neutrality is a very challenging systematic engineering.From “peak” to “neutralization”, carbon control, carbon reduction, low-carbon and neutralization is the necessary process stage.There is a gap between “peak” and“neutralization”.Without systematic social change and subversive technological revolution, it is difficult to realize the transition from quantitative change to qualitative change.At present, it has become a consensus that the goal of “double carbon” relies on top-down institutional traction.It is still a long way to go to effectively promote laws and regulations to give full play to their safeguarding role.
