From: Carbon stocks and changes of dead organic matter in China's forests
Carbon stocks of the woody debris and litter in the different regions of China from periods 1984–1988 to 2004–2008. The filled colors represent the model-based estimates of dead organic matter carbon density. Carbon stocks are presented as means ± 1 SD, generated by 500 resamplings. Forests in China are divided into six regions: Northwest, including the provinces of Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Shaanxi, and Xinjiang; North, including the provinces of Hebei, Inner Mongol and Shanxi, and the cities of Beijing and Tianjin; Northeast, including Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning provinces; Southwest, including the provinces of Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunan and Tibet, and the city of Chongqing; South Central, including the provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Henan, Hubei and Hunan; and East, including the provinces of Anhui, Fujian, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong and Zhejiang, and the city of Shanghai. It should be noted that due to the lack of data, forests in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were not included in the current study
