Carbon cycling of Chinese forests: From carbon storage, dynamics to models

With a coverage of 30% of the Earth’s land area, forest biomes play an important role in global carbon (C) cycling and C management [1]. There are two main reasons for this.First, a huge amount of C is stored in forest live biomass,detritus, and soil organic matter; this accounts for 45% of the C storage in the global terrestrial ecosystem. Second,when forest ecosystems are destroyed or converted to other
