[ACG39-P04] Environmental Carbon Monitoring Throughout the Life Cycle of Soil and Water Conservation Vertical Projects

* I-CHIA CHIU1, Bing-Shyan Lin1 (1.Feng Chia University)

Keywords:Carbon Sequestration in Engineering, Soil Carbon Sink, Sustainable Development

This study aims to comprehensively evaluate engineering processes and assess the contributions of various soil and water conservation projects to carbon sequestration. The impacts of these projects on carbon emissions and storage, including surrounding environmental effects, are analyzed, with a focus on carbon emission performance throughout different stages of construction life cycle.
Field monitoring methods were employed to compare carbon emissions and soil carbon sequestration capacities between slope protection backfill soils and undisturbed surrounding lands across diverse geological formations in Taiwan. The analysis also includes the carbon sink performance of projects completed at different times. Construction sites within the same watershed, spanning multiple years and various construction phases (early, middle, and late stages), were selected to evaluate differences in soil carbon dynamics.
The results indicate that factors such as temperature, construction type, and soil moisture content significantly influence carbon sequestration outcomes, and for result, construction generally require 3-4 years to achieve carbon sequestration effects comparable to those of undisturbed lands. To enhance carbon sequestration efficiency and optimize long-term performance, continuous monitoring and analysis are recommended. These insights serve as key references for future engineering carbon conservation design, management, and adaptive review processes, contributing to both carbon reduction and sustainable development goals.
