| It has been14years since the Grain for Green Project started in1999, the project hasplayed a huge role in safeguarding the national ecological security, and also made greatachievements in the development of local economy and society. In2007, the State Councilissued the "notice" on perfecting the policy of the Grain for Green Project, marking that theGrain for Green Project entered the backward farming era. In the new period, thecompensation policy extends the subsidy period, at the same time the subsidy standardbecomes to half of the previous level. The compensation has great significance to theimplementation and effect of consolidation of the Grain for Green Project, only when theecological compensation amount after returning farmland not less than the economic incomeof the farmers of before, probably it may encourage the enthusiasm of farmers. Directsubsidy on ecological effect of fiscal consolidation is not a permanent way, when the newround of compensation come to expiration, the land still faces the risk of ecologicaldegradation. At the same time, the global climate change has become an international hotissues of common concern around the world, and the carbon market that in order to deal withthe climate change has been established gradually, both the international and domestic carbontrading market is active. Develope the regional forestry ecological can internal the externalityof the Grain for Green Project ecological benefits, also can make up the deficiency of theecological compensation policy of the Grain for Green Project, alleviate the financial pressure,and establish a long-term compensation mechanism to solve the long-term livelihood offarmers.This paper takes Mizhi County of Shaanxi province which located in Hilly and gullyregion of Loess Plateau as the research object, using the knowledge of forest management andenvironmental economics and so on, based on the sustainable development theory, externalitytheory, public goods theory and utility value theory, study on Carbon Sink Compensation ofthe Grain for Green Project of Mizhi County of Shaanxi province, hope that through theresearch, can be beneficial to the development of forestry in Mizhi county. Specific studies are as follows:（1）Through the collection the data of the Grain for Green Project approval and fieldsurvey data, choose four dominant species stands as the research object, using the continuousbiomass conversion factor method and the growth curve method, analyzed the presentsituation of research on carbon sequestration, estimated the biomass and carbon storage of theforest area in Mizhi County2012, and then estimate the carbon sequestration benefitsgenerated by the Grain for Green Project.（2）Introduces the background of forestry carbon sequestration projects, analyzes thedomestic and international carbon trading market development stages which is in thedeveloping status currently, pointed out the problems existing in the current carbon market isthat the market is not active, the costs of the carbon trade is too high, carbon measurementand monitoring system is still not perfect, and so on. Then on the basis of the carbonsequestration value results, try to compare with the traditional way of compensation.（3）According to the local actual situation, analyzes the possibility and feasibility studyarea for carbon trading. The analysis thinks, the carbon sequestration of the Grain for GreenProject of Mizhi County is of large capacity and potential, and it is the best area to developforestry carbon sequestration transaction. At the same time, there are some obstacles, due tothe weak site conditions, unreasonable tree structure and difficult managed forest land, theyall restrict the development of the project. And then put forward some suggestions such asstrengthen the forest management, adjust the forest structure, strengthen resourcemanagement, and increase scientific research strength,and so on. Enhance the carbonsequestration benefits and prepare for the future implementation of carbon trade. |
