Forest biomass carbon pool dynamics in Tibet Autonomous Region of China: Inventory data 1999-2019. by Liu Shu-Qin, Bian Zhen, Xia Chao-Zong, Bilal Ahmad, Zhang Ming, Chen Jian, An Tian-Yu, Zhang Ke-Bin

“…The results showed that, during the past 20 years, the forest area, forest stock, and biomass carbon storage in Tibet have been steadily increasing, with an average annual increase of 1.85×104 hm2, 0.033×107 m3, and 0.22×107 t, respectively. Influenced by geographical conditions and the natural environment, the forest area and biomass carbon storage gradually increased from the northwest to the southeast, particularly in Linzhi and Changdu, where there are many primitive forests, which serve as important carbon sinks in Tibet. …”
