Abstract

Since the industrial revolution, land use and land cover changes (LUCC) mostly resulting from human activities have been a significant source of carbon exchange between terrestrial carbon pools and the atmosphere. The effects of LUCC on terrestrial ecosystem carbon storage and their budget has become a focus of scientific research. In this paper, we provide an empirical analysis of carbon emissions for land consolidation projects (LCPs) in Julu and Baixiang Counties, Taihang Piedmont, Hebei Province, China . Based on energy consumption and land use change theory, we use carbon emission inventory methods to analyze the carbon emissions caused by land leveling, irrigation and drainage, road construction, farmland protection and land use changes. The study identifies the effects of land consolidation activities on carbon sources and sinks and presents methods for their calculation. Carbon emissions are estimated for fossil fuel use in the LCP implementation process and for carbon stock changes due to land use conversions in the LCP.
