The biomass-derived CO 2 emission is usually treated as neutral to climate change. However, due to the stay of biomass-derived CO 2 in the atmosphere, many researchers believe that biomass-derived CO 2 also has climate change benefit. Therefore, many methods to account the global warming potential of biomass-derived CO 2 (GWP bio ) were proposed. Based on those new methods, we developed an accounting system for climate change impact of biomass utilization in this study, and compared it with the...

The land use intervention caused a noticeable impact on carbon sequestration as an ecosystem service. To comprehensively project land use change impact on carbon sequestration, the carbon dynamics models in the ecosystem and the atmosphere were integrated, and characterization factors were calculated for different scenarios. In this study, to illustrate the proposed method, the CENTURY model was used to simulate the carbon dynamics for seven land use change scenarios under two climate change...
