“…The carbon sequestration capacity due to implementation of forestry policies and forestry projects attract more and more attentions, and particularly after the Kyoto protocol took effect in 2005, which has prompted more countries and regions of the world carried out relevant researches (Deng et al., 2014; Jandl, Lindner, et al., 2007; Niu & Duiker, 2006). With its GGP implemented, the forest carbon storage estimates of China indicated that upon the GGP completion in 2010, the total carbon sequestration and annual mean carbon sequestration of China's GGP forests were 320.29 Tg and 26.69 Tg, respectively.…”

“…However, influence of management measures on carbon sequestration potentials should not be underestimated (Nabuurs et al., 2000). Considering hydrothermal condition influencing carbon balances of natural forests, plantations are a type of ecosystems under human control, and their operations and managements are more important factors that affecting their carbon balances (Jandl, Neumann, & Eckmullner, 2007; Jandl, Lindner, et al., 2007; Waterworth & Richards, 2008).

The Grain for Green Program (GGP) was the most all‐embracing program of ecological reconstruction implemented in China. To estimate carbon storages and carbon sequestration potentials of the GGP forests, the study presented in the paper collected data spanning from 1999 to 2010, such as tree species, tree planting area relevant to the GGP, empirical growth curves suitable for different planted tree species in China, as well as wood density (WD), biomass expansion factor (BEF), carbon fraction (CF) of different trees species, and estimated the carbon storages of the biomasses of GGP forests from 1999 to 2050. It showed that the total carbon storage of the biomass of GGP forests was 320.29 Tg upon the GGP completion in 2010; the total carbon sequestration is higher during the early GGP‐implementation stage than at the late GGP‐implementation stage, and the annual mean carbon sequestration of GGP forests was 26.69 Tg/year. The potential of GGP forests as carbon sink presented an increasing increment. In China, the potential increments of GGP forests as carbon sinks were estimated to be 397.34, 604.00, 725.53, and 808.90 Tg in 2020, 2030, 2040, and 2050, respectively, and the carbon sequestration rates were 1.72, 0.89, 0.52, and 0.36 Mg ha−1 year−1, respectively, corresponding to 2010s, 2020s, 2030s, and 2040s. Therefore, the GGP forests had bigger carbon sequestration capacities and potentials in China.

“…Though maintaining a high tree density could maximize on-site carbon stock, it may also increase the risk of natural disturbances (Jandl et al, 2007). Increasing off-site carbon storage via thinning may prove a better strategy, especially in high risk areas.…”

“…A major focus in forest management is to promote the increase of this sink (Jandl et al, 2007;Achat et al, 2015;Moreno-Fernandez et al, 2015). Soil organic carbon (SOC) can be divided into labile and recalcitrant fractions based on the mean residence times in the soil.…”
