Research on Forest Carbon Sequestration and Its Economic Valuation: A Case Study of the Zixi Mountain Nature Reserve, Chuxiong Prefecture.

ABSTRACT: Improving the precision of forest vegetation carbon stock estimation is essential for scientifically evaluating its economic value and ecological benefits. This study aims to investigate the impact of different estimation methods on carbon stock and its economic value. Taking the forest vegetation of the Zixi Mountain Nature Reserve as the research object, the carbon stock of the arbor layer was estimated using four approaches: the variable biomass expansion factor method, the biomass expansion factor method, the volume conversion method, and the continuous function method of the biomass conversion factor. The carbon stocks of economic forests and shrublands were estimated using the average biomass method. The economic value of forest carbon storage was then evaluated through the market va
