Forests give us shade, quiet and one of the harder challenges in the fight against climate changes.(丛林给了咱们阴凉、恬静而且是匹敌天气变革的更大挑战之一。)Even as we humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce, we are threatening their ability to do so.(乃至当咱们人类期望丛林吸取咱们发生的大份额二氧化碳,而咱们正在威逼丛林如许做的能力。)The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more carbon than they absorb.(咱们正在加快的天气变革,这可能致使某一天留给咱们的会是碳排放量跨越碳吸取量的丛林。)
Thankfully, there is a way out of this trap---but it involves striking a subtle
balance.(谢天谢地,有一个法子可以防止这个圈套——可是它包括告竣一个奥妙的均衡。)Helping forests flourish as valuable "carbon sinks" long into the future may require reducing their capacity to absorb carbon now.(预测将来,帮忙丛林作为有价值的“碳沉淀器”而蓬勃成长,那末如今就请求削减他们吸取碳的能力。)California is leading the way, as it does on so many climate efforts, in figuring out the details.(正如他在如斯多的天气变革所做的那样,加利福尼亚州在解决细节问题法子上正处于带领职位地方。)
The state’s proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts
to thin out young trees and clear brush in part of the forest.(这个州提出丛林碳规划目标在于双倍的尽力去削减小树和断根部门丛林的灌木丛。)This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity.(这将姑且减低碳的承载能力。)But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture, so they grow and thrive, restoring the forest’s capacity to pull carbon from the air.(可是留下来的树会获得更多份额可以操纵的水份,以是会茁壮发展,规复丛林从氛围中吸取碳的能力。)Health trees are also better able to fend off insects.(康健的树更能抵抗虫害。)The landscape is rendered less easily burnable.(如许的景色更不易发生火警。)Even in the event of a fire, fewer trees are consumed.(即便产生火警,也会是更少的树木被烧毁。)
The need for such planning is increasingly urgent.(这类计划的需求愈来愈紧急。)Already, since 2010, drought and insects have killed over 100 million trees in California, most of them in 2016 alone, and wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres.(自2010年以来,在加利福尼亚干旱和虫豸已毁了跨越1一亿棵树,他们中的大部门毁在2016年,野火烧了数十万英亩。)
California plans to treat 35,000 acres of forest a year by 2020, and 60,000 by 2030---financed from the proceeds of the state’s emissions-permit auctions.(加利福尼亚规划到2020年每一年处置35000英亩,到2030年每一年处置60000英亩——资金来历于州拍卖排放允许证的收益。)That’s only a small share of the total acreage that could benefit, about half a million acres in all, so it will be vital to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought.(这仅仅只是总收益面积中一小部门,约莫共计50万英亩,以是这很首要去优先选择具备火警和干旱的最大危害地域。)
The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in woody material removed from the forests is locked away in the form of solid lumber or burned as biofuel in vehicles that would otherwise run on fossil fuels.(该计谋还旨在肯定在丛林中移除的碳在木质材猜中被锁定,以固体木头的情势分开或作为生物燃料利用在本来利用化石燃料的交通东西中。) New research on transportation biofuels is already under way.(关于运输生物燃料的新钻研已在举行中。)
State governments are well accustomed to managing forests, but traditionally they’ve focused on wildlife, watersheds and opportunities for recreation.(州当局一向在办理丛林,可是传统上他们会存眷野活泼物、水域和休闲机遇。)Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon.(直到迩来他们起头大白丛林在贮存碳的首要方面。)California’s plan, which is expected to be finalized by the governor next year, should serve as a model.(估计终极来岁被州长肯定的加利福尼亚规划应当被用作一个范式。)
