Research status of spatial distribution pattern of forest soil organic carbon stocks in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
As an important part of the global ecosystem,Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a sensitive area of climate change and an important ecological barrier,and the soil organic carbon stocks in its forest soils have a significant impact on the global carbon cycle.This paper aims to comprehensively analyze the spatial distribution pattern and influencing factors of forest soil organic carbon storage in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.The common methods for estimating soil organic carbon stocks were described,and the distribution characteristics of soil organic carbon stocks in different regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were revealed.It was found that soil organic carbon stocks in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau showed obvious spatial heterogeneity.In addition,the effects of climatic conditions,human activities and soil properties on the distribution of soil organic carbon stocks were discussed,and relevant prospects were proposed.
