Abstract:Urban green space construction can produce carbon emissions during construction and promote carbon sequestration through plant photosynthesis, which is the main measure for reducing carbon emission and enhancing carbon sink. Landscaping are more important than ecological traits during traditional green space construction, resulting in more carbon emissions and less carbon sequestration, owing to unreasonable plant configuration, rapid landscaping, frequent converting and upgrading, and improper treatment of greening waste. In the context of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, green space construction should consider comprehensively carbon emission reduction and carbon sink increase, including reducing hard landscape, increasing green quantity, optimizing plant configuration, selecting preferentially local low-carbon materials and age-appropriate seedlings, reshaping terrain, naturally constructing finely, avoiding converting frequently, and promoting to reutilization of greening waste, so as to meet the new needs of ecological civilization construction and coping with climate change.
