Abstract
Achieving carbon neutrality is an urgent, complex and arduous task in China. How to effectively exert carbon sequestration and improve carbon sequestration capacity of urban ecosystems should be solved. Compared with other terrestrial ecosystem types, frequent anthropogenic activities lead to more abundant carbon sink elements of urban ecosystems and more complex factors affecting their carbon sequestration capacity. Based on researches at multiple spatial and temporal scales, we analyzed key factors affecting the carbon sequestration capacity of urban ecosystems from different perspectives. We illuminated the composition and characteristics of carbon sinks of urban ecosystems, summarized the methods and characteristics of carbon sequestration capacity of urban ecosystems, and revealed the impact factors of carbon sequestration capacity of different carbon sink elements and the comprehensive impact factors of carbon sinks of urban ecosystems under the influence of human activities. With the continuous improved understanding of carbon sinks of urban ecosystems, it is necessary to further improve the accounting method of carbon sequestration capacity of artificial carbon sink systems, explore the key impact factors of comprehensive carbon sequestration capacity, change the research method from global to spatially weighted, discover the spatial coupling relationship between artificial and natural carbon sink systems, find out the optimal artificial-natural spatial configuration to achieve carbon sequestration capacity enhancement, break the limitations of increasing carbon sink of urban ecosystems, and finally contribute to the achievement of the urban carbon neutrality goal.
