Abstract:

Studying the change of soil organic carbon content in the process of urbanization and identifying the spatial pattern of soil organic carbon will play a guiding role in the study of urban building. In this study, the land use pattern and area were obtained by remote sensing image data, the influence of land use change on soil organic carbon content and density was analyzed, and the soil organic carbon storage of Sanlin Green Wedge to be built was estimated. The results showed that the organic carbon content of unsealed soil and sealed soil were 7.51 g·kg-1 and 4.67 g·kg-1, respectively. The content and density of soil organic carbon in unsealed green space was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that in sealed soil. The existing soil organic carbon storage was about 2.99×104 t. Compared with the current situation, the soil organic carbon pool changed greatly after the proposed construction, and the estimated organic carbon storage could reach 6.29× 104 t. The unsealed soil organic carbon storage was 5.38×104 t, which was about 1.8 times of the existing soil organic carbon storage. This study elucidated the impact of land use change on soil organic carbon pool in the process of urbanization, which was of great significance for accurately quantifying the soil organic carbon pool of urbanization and evaluating urban carbon balance.
