Abstract: | The projected changes in carbon exchange between China terrestrial ecosystem and the atmosphere and vegetation and soil carbon
storage during the 21st century were investigated using an atmosphere-vegetation interaction model (AVIM2). The results show
that in the coming 100 a, for SRES B2 scenario and constant atmospheric CO2 concentration, the net primary productivity (NPP) of terrestrial ecosystem in China will be decreased slowly, and vegetation
and soil carbon storage as well as net ecosystem productivity (NEP) will also be decreased. The carbon sink for China terrestrial
ecosystem in the beginning of the 20th century will become totally a carbon source by the year of 2020, while for B2 scenario
and changing atmospheric CO2 concentration, NPP for China will increase continuously from 2.94 GtC · a−1 by the end of the 20th century to 3.99 GtC · a−1 by the end of the 21st century, and vegetation and soil carbon storage will increase to 110.3 GtC. NEP in China will keep
rising during the first and middle periods of the 21st century, and reach the peak around 2050s, then will decrease gradually
and approach to zero by the end of the 21st century.
