ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes the change in forest carbon storage over time by constructing a forest carbon storage model. Specifically, we constructed a model for predicting carbon sequestration rates and, based on the Gompertz model, a model capable of solving the annual carbon sequestration value of trees. A cellular automata (CA)-based forest growth simulation system simulates the stand growth and its carbon sequestration process. In addition, a quantitative model is obtained through the quantification of the indicators, and an optimal benefit decision-making model based on a genetic algorithm is constructed with the benefits model as the objective function. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was performed on the considered models.
