Carbon pattern of different ecosystems in canyon karst region in southwestern of China

Carbon storage, composition and patterns of six ecosystems (Paddy field (ST), dry land (HD), grassland (CD), shrubbery (GC), artificial forest (RGL) and secondary forest (CSL)) were analyzed by the sample method in a canyon karst region, Southwestern of China. Therefore, carbon sequestration potential in the canyon karst region of southwestern of China is large, reducing disturbance, fit measures of returning Paddy field to forest or grass, and reasonable management countermeasures would be the key to promote quickly vegetation recovery and ecology reconstruction and increase carbon storage in the region.
