Table 1 Total carbon stored in forest AGB in China from a number of studies, along with the area covered by the maps.

Source	Carbon (Pg C)	Period	Area
GEOCARBON⁶	3.92	2000–2010	Global
Huang, et al.⁵⁶	5.44	2006	China
CCI Biomass, v3⁹	5.94	2010	Global
Yin, et al.⁷⁰	8.56	2001–2013	China
Li, et al.⁷¹	9.87	2010	China
Su, et al.²³	17.02	2004	China

The carbon estimated for GEOCARBON, CCI Biomass, V3 and the Su maps were derived using AGB maps provided by the respective studies. For GEOCARBON and CCI Biomass, V3, non-forested areas were excluded based on Hansen forest cover data³⁵. The Su map had already excluded non-forest areas in their AGB map. Estimates for all other sources were obtained directly from the respective publications.
