Estimation of the Economic Valuation of Gas Regulation Function by Bamou National Park’s Rangeland Ecosystem Case study: Stabilization of Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen Supply

Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

Carbon consequences in soil and biomass are the simplest choice and the most practical possible solution for CO2 reduces that are suggested, so that even the ruined rangelands reform has great importance in carbon sequestration. In this study, the economic valuation of regulating gas function that obtains CO2 capture and Oxygen supply function by Bamou National Park Rangeland Ecosystem estimated. For determining the quantity of CO2 captured, used Biomass expansion factor method and finally Photosynthesis equation and replacement cost method. According to results, the quantity of CO2 gas captured from plant coverage and soil were 10.9 and 140 ton per hectare and 464360 and 5284185 in the total area of the park. By considering 75.34 dollars for per ton CO2 gas consequences in the CCS project as a replacement method for gas regulation function, economic valuation of this function estimated 373 million Rial per hectare of this park and also14176.266 billion Rial from the total 38000-hectare area of this park in 2012. Recommended that with Establishing local surveillance mechanisms in local communities periphery National Park Bamou and increase responsibility of Local Authorities of Bamou National Park for Regional Planning and application items that more suitable for nature conservation, try for Maintain and expand Current ecosystem functions Park and its economic value.
