United States study confirms China afforestation effectiveness effective afforestation | | _ news

Xinhua News Agency, Washington D.C., March 27-United States researchers reported that under the United States Space Agency published an analysis of the latest pictures confirmed that China′s afforestation efforts effective, successfully reversed centuries of deforestation, and bring hope to control global climate change processes.

United States University of Michigan researchers reported in the journal of the progress of science, United States Space Agency′s latest satellite images taken by a group of moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer, picture researchers according to the field survey data, Google Earth data, the system analyzes the changes in forest cover. Analysis shows that China′s steady rise in forest cover, the total forest area is increasing.

Data shows that within 10 years from 2000 to 2010, 1.6% of China′s land area, about 160,000 square kilometers of land began to be covered with dense forests, afforestation rate beyond the 0.38% the rate of forest loss in the same period.

Researchers said in the paper, many countries are implementing massive forest protection and afforestation programme, the research on forest conservation projects in China--one of the world′s largest independent verification of the effect of natural forest resource protection project, confirmed that the project is effective.

Study leader andeliesi·weina said China′s afforestation program is very effective in supporting the programme of action on climate change, China has made remarkable progress in environmental protection, positive results of afforestation work is very impressive.

Weiner said that their research results are very positive for China. "If China as a case of looking at, its plans are effectively carried out, and was based on their climate change response programme to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions. "(End)

美国研究证实中国植树造林卓有成效|植树造林|成效_新闻资讯

　　新华社华盛顿3月27日电 美国研究人员近日报告说，他们根据美国航天局发布的最新图片等进行的分析证实，中国近年来的植树造林行动卓有成效，成功扭转了持续多个世纪的森林滥伐局面，为控制全球气候变化进程带来希望。

　　美国密歇根大学研究人员在《科学进展》杂志上报告说，美国航天局最新公布了一批中分辨率成像光谱仪拍摄的卫星图片，研究人员根据这些图片结合 实地调查数据、谷歌地球数据等，系统分析了中国森林覆盖面积的变化。分析显示，中国的森林覆盖率在稳步回升，森林总面积不断增加。

　　数据显示，从2000年到2010年短短10年内，中国有1.6%的陆地面积、约合16万平方公里的土地开始被茂密树林所覆盖，造林速度超越了同期0.38%的森林减少速度。

　　研究人员在论文中说，很多国家都在实施大规模森林保护和造林计划，此次研究对世界上最大的森林保护工程之一——中国天然林资源保护工程的效果进行了独立验证，结果证实这项工程卓有成效。

　　研究负责人安德烈斯·维纳说，中国的植树造林计划非常有效地配合了中国应对气候变化问题的行动方案，中国在环境保护方面取得了显著进步，植树造林工作取得的积极成果让人印象深刻。

　　维纳说，他们的研究结果对于中国来说非常积极正面。“如果将中国作为一个个例来看待，它的相关计划正有效开展，并正在根据自己的气候变化应对方案为减少碳排放作出贡献。”(完)
