Achievements
China's carbon sink and contribution to global climate change
1
Evaluate the size of forest carbon sink of China based on the inventory data, indicate that afforestation after 1970 have large contribution to this sink (Science, 2001).
2
Estimated the carbon sink of China's terrestrial carbon sink and clarified that this sink is important for mitigating climate change (Nature, 2009).
3
Independently developed a high-resolution emission inventory with more than 28 substances, which is the only database that distinguished more than 80 emission sources (Nature Energy, 2018).
4
Evaluated China's contribution to global historical climate change and pointed out that China's contribution is less than 10% (Nature, 2016) .
