Studies of specific ecosystem suggest that mature forests in Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest (Zhang et al, 2006a;Liu et al, 2014a;Tan et al, 2010Tan et al, , 2012Guan et al, 2006;Zhang et al, 2006b;Yan et al, 2012) and subtropical plantations (Liu et al, 2006;Wen et al, 2010) had strong carbon sequestration capacity. The carbon sink magnitude of grasslands was obviously lower than that of forests.…”
