Abstract

The results presented in the article were obtained in the process of preparing the National Report on the inventory of anthropogenic emissions from sources and absorption of greenhouse gases not regulated by the Montreal Protocol, in terms of land use. The report is submitted annually by the Republic of Kazakhstan, as a party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Preliminary calculations of the dynamics of carbon dioxide (CO2) associated with land use in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 1991...2020 showed that its absorption from the atmosphere by natural ecosystems could range from 3 to 50...60 million tons per year, and emissions into the atmosphere – from 10 to 45 million tons/year. In the process of research, a detailed analysis of the country's existing system of ground-based monitoring of land use and land resources was carried out with calculations of anthropogenic CO2 flows at various territorial levels. The results obtained confirm the possibility of calculating greenhouse gases at the zonal and regional levels. This confirms the possibility of additional control of calculations of greenhouse gas fluxes associated with land use and assessment of the potential for a possible increase in absorption volumes for natural ecosystems (Forests and Pastures) and reductions in emissions for the Croplands agroecosystem.
