Abstract:The basic plant information and photosynthetic characteristics parameters of 10 wetland woody plants in South China were measured and calculated in winter, and the daily carbon fixation, oxygen release and daily humidification and cooling capabilities of different woody plants were compared and analyzed in order to provide a reference for the construction of high carbon fixation type wetland ecosystem. The results show that: In winter, Fagraea ceilanica, Pittosporum tobira, Malvaviscus arboreus, Arachnothryx leucophylla and Melaleuca viminalis had the best daily carbon fixation, oxygen release, humidification and cooling capacity per unit leaf area. The best daily carbon fixation, oxygen release, humidification and cooling capacity per unit land area were Pittosporum tobira, Malvaviscus arboreus, Fagraea ceilanicaand Brunfelsia brasiliensis. On the whole, the capacity of carbon fixation and oxygen release, as well as humidification and cooling of evergreen shrubs was better than that of evergreen trees, and native plants were better than exotic plants.Therefore, the construction of high-carbon wetland should mainly consist of evergreen plants and native plants, adopt multi-level structure configuration of trees, shrubs and grasses, select plants according to light conditions, improve the carbon sequestration efficiency of wetland, and ensure the long-term stability of carbon storage.
