Forest Carbon Storage and Dynamic Change in Guangdong Province
According to the national forest inventory data collected in Guangdong Province since 1979 to 2012 and the regional and tress species dependent biomass conversion equations, we estimated forest carbon storage and density.The total carbon storage of forests in Guangdong Province was increased continuously from 2.766 47× 107 to1.673 778× 10st, and the annual variability was 5.45%, with an annual increment of 4.366× 106t.The carbon density was increased from 7.57 to 23.01 t/hm2.Arbor forest, especially broad-leaved forest played a dominant role, which contributed most to the total forest carbon storage.In terms of age structure, young forests and mid-aged forests occupied a large proportion in area and carbon storage.
