Estimation of Amount of Carbon Pool in Natural Tropical Forest of China

Based on the data from the Jianfengling Stationary Research Station for Tropical Forest Ecosystem in Hainan Island of China,this paper estimates the amount of carbon pool of natural tropical forest in Hainan Province and Yunan Province. The results indicate that the amount of carbon of Hainan natural tropical forest(including pristine and regenerated forests)is up to 71.9～73.4 million tons,and is at least 66 million tons in Yunnan Province. So the total amount of carbon stored in tropical forest of China is at least 137.2～138.7 million tons.
