Forests have multiple benefits and functions, including mitigation of climate change. The impacts of forests on the global carbon cycle include forests as carbon sinks, wood-based products as carbon sinks, bio-energy, and production and use of non-timber products. In the past decades, forest cover of China has increased from 8.6% to 18.21% by large-scale afforestation and conversion of cropland into forests. Forest biomass carbon (C) stock increased from 4.3 Pg C (1 Pg C = 1 015 g C) in the early 1980s to 5.9 Pg C in the early 2000s. China will continue to invest in forestry sector to strengthen its capacity to respond to global climate change and to increase the capability of carbon sequestration by increasing forest areas and stock, increasing forest bio-energy and non-timber products.
