Dynamic changes of forest vegetation carbon storage and the characteristics of carbon sink (source) in the Natural Forest Protection Project region for the past 20 years

Forest ecosystem has a huge carbon sink function and plays an inhibitory effect on global climate warming. The carbon storages of Jiangxi province forest vegetation between 1984 and 2003 were estimated by an age-based volume-to-biomass method according to the forest resource inventory data of the homologous periods. The results showed that the total vegetation carbon storage of Jiangxi province forest vegetation in the four periods was 101.86TgC, 124.1TgC, 157.3TgC and 188.78TgC respectively. The total vegetation carbon storage of Jiangxi province forests had increased 86.92TgC and accumulated about 4.35TgC per year from 1984 to 2003. The average forest vegetation carbon density was between 22.77t/hm2 and 25.94t/hm2. The spatial pattern of forest vegetation carbon storage in Jiangxi province was studied according to forest resources survey data during 10th five-year plan. The results showed that the largest forest vegetation carbon storage was the Ganzhou city (62.36TgC) and the least was Nanchang city (1.72TgC). The average carbon intensity of all city forest vegetation in Jiangxi province was roughly from 20.641t/hm2 to 32.930t/hm2. The smallest carbon density was Nanchang city (20.641t/hm2) while the biggest was Jingdezhen city (32.930t/hm2).

Natural Forest Protection

Forest ecosystem plays an important role in regulating global carbon cycle and climate change, to estimate its carbon storage, this study selected five major forest types in Northeast and investigated its tree, understory vegetation, forest floor and soil carbon density based on field measurement. Subsequently, we combined with the 7th Forest Resources Statistics of China to calculate forest carbon storage under the natural forest protection program in Northeast on regional scale. Results showed that forest ecosystem carbon storage under the natural forest protection program in Northeast was 4603.8 TgC, in which tree, understory, forest floor and soil carbon storages account for 22.7%, 0.9%, 6.5% and 69.9% respectively. Forest ecosystem carbon density was 180.6 Mg/ha, and tree, understory, and forest floor carbon density all increased with age class, which imply the great forest carbon sequestration potential under the natural forest protection program in Northeast.
