Summary:Hydrosphere environment is the most susceptible fundamental systems subjects to current global climate change. The unique geographical feature and developing potential of Tianjin wetlands systems has impacted on the local water environment severely. In this article, preliminary estimation of restorable wetlands area and its atmosphere values has been made. Based on assessed potential carbon sink capacity, it is deduced that wetlands system would help restoring carbon sink in Tianjin area. The purpose of this research is to provide strategies aiming to improve the ecological security pattern, whilst maintaining economic development of Tianjin area.
