China is a low forest--covered The forest inthis country is mainly composed of young and middleaged plantations, and most of natural forests concentrateon remote However, there arc two merits forpromotion of forestry in China; firstly there are rich treespecies that can provide an abundant gene pool for plan-ation, and secondly Chinese government is paying agreat attention to plantation and protection of Since 1980 biomass and productivity have beeBased on a literature review, we re-analyzed Chinese national forest biomass and productivity data and response of predicted forest productivity to global climate Total forest biomass in China was between 0 Pg C (1 Pg C= 109 t C) and 1 Pg C, with a best estimate of 6 Pg C, and total national forest NPP excluding special product plantations and bamboo forest was 4- 6 Pg C a-1, with an average of 5 Pg C a- Studies of the terrestrial ecosystem models and the atmospheric general circulation models showed that prodicted global climate changes increased total forest NPP of China by 12 %-35 %, and that amplitude of change varies from place to These results provide effective data for future climate research in Casured f…
