Abstract: Based on the national forest inventory report,this study used the average biomass method to calculate the carbon sequestration value of bamboo forests and its dynamic changes,and used the gray prediction model to predict the carbon sink potential of bamboo forests in the next five statistical periods.The results showed that the amount of carbon sequestered in bamboo forests in China rose from 111 730 500 tons in the fourth inventory to 189 257 300 tons in the ninth inventory,with a net increase of 77 526 800 tons and a growth rate of 69.39%.Besides,it also showed that the amount of carbon sequestered in bamboo forests varied significantly from different administrative regions with the largest amount in East China,and the amount of carbon sequestered in bamboo forests was higher in Fujian,Jiangxi,Zhejiang and Hunan provinces from different provinces.Thirdly,it showed that the national bamboo forest carbon sink potential was large,and the national bamboo forest carbon sink potential would reach 310 410 100 tons by 2030,which would achieve 1.59% of carbon emission reduction contribution.Based on the above research results,it proposed countermeasures for tapping the carbon sink potential of bamboo forests to achieve the maximum effectiveness of the value of bamboo forest carbon sinks and help China achieve its carbon peak and carbon neutral strategic goals as scheduled.
