About This Project

Terrestrial vegetated ecosystems (e.g. forests, shrublands, grasslands, etc.) are some of the most promising nature-based climate solution owing to their considerable areal coverage and high rates of carbon dioxide update. Yet, there is at present a paucity of local field studies quantifying the magnitude and controlling factors of carbon storage and sequestration in the terrestrial ecosystems in Hong Kong. Moreover, the effect of ecological succession over time on the carbon sequestration potential of terrestrial forests is poorly understood.
