Research on Soil Carbon Storages and Storage Changes in Yangtze Delta Region, China
Description:... Soil carbon stock, including soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil inorganic carbon(SIC) stock, is the largest pool in terrestrial ecosystem, and only a small changein storage has an impact on level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Therefore,soil carbon sequestration is believed to be one of the cost-effective ways toreduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and mitigate globalgreenhouse effects. This study calculates soil carbon storages and evaluates soilorganic storage change in the course of industrialization and urbanization inYangtze Delta region, China, based on the data of the Second National Soil Survey(1982-1985) and the Multi-Purpose Regional Geochemical Survey (2002-2005), which may provide baseline dada for research into regional carbon sequestration/source effect and carbon circulation.
