Carbon sink in China’s urban forests under three climate scenarios during 1995–2060

Caption

(a) Carbon stocks (Tg C) in different components of urban forests. Veg, vegetation; Eco, ecosystem. (b) Carbon stocks (Tg C) in existing (area of urban forest remaining unchanged) and new urban forests (urban forests converted from other land types). (c) Carbon sequestration rates (Tg C a−1) in China’s urban forests. (d) Carbon sink (Tg C) in China’s urban forests from 1995 to 2060 and the relative contributions of different components. The error bar represents the standard deviation
