Sensitivity of the Carbon Storage of Potential Vegetation to Historical Climate Variability and CO_2 in Continental China

The interest in the national levels of the terrestrial carbon sink and its spatial and temporal variabil-ity with the climate and CO2 concentrations has been increasing.How the climate and the increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations in the last century affect the carbon storage in continental China was in-vestigated in this study by using the Modified Sheffeld Dynamic Global Vegetation Model(M-SDGVM).The estimates of the M-SDGVM indicated that during the past 100 years a combination of increasing CO2 with...
