- Abstract
Based on the field investigation and the data combination from literature, vegetation carbon storage, carbon density, and their spatial distribution were examined across six forest community types (Schima superba-Castanopsis fargesii community, S. superba-C. fargesii with C. sclerophylla community, S. superba-C. fargesii with Distylium myricoides community, Illicium lanceolatum -Choerospondias axillaris community, Liquidambar formosana -Pinus massoniana community and Hedyotis auricularia -Phylostachys pubescens community) in Tiantong National Forest Park, Zhejiang Province, by using the allometric biomass models for trees and shrubs. Results showed that: Among the six communities investigated, carbon storage and carbon density were highest in the S. superba -C. fargesii with C. sclerophylla community (storage: 12113. 92 Mg C; density: 165. 03 Mg C · hm-2), but lowest in the I. lanceolatum-C. axillaris community (storage: 680. 95 Mg C; density: 101. 26 Mg C · hm-2). Carbon storage was significantly higher in evergreen trees than in deciduous trees across six communities. Carbon density ranged from 76. 08 to 144. 95 Mg C.hm-2, and from 0. 16 to 20. 62 Mg C · hm-2 for evergreen trees and deciduous trees, respectively. Carbon storage was highest in stems among tree tissues in the tree layer throughout communities. Among vegetation types, evergreen broadleaved forest had the highest carbon storage (23092. 39 Mg C), accounting for 81. 7% of the total carbon storage in all forest types, with a carbon density of 126. 17 Mg C · hm-2. Total carbon storage for all vegetation types in Tiantong National Forest Park was 28254. 22 Mg C, and the carbon density was 96. 73 Mg C · hm-2.
