Evolution Characteristics of Soil and Water Conservation Carbon Pool and Its Carbon Sink Potential in Typical Small Watershed of the Loess Plateau by HE Guokai, WANG Kaibo, REN Zongping, XU Guoce, DONG Pengbei, WANG Pu

“…Terraced grassland, terraced woodland, slope grassland, channel grassland, slope woodland and dam land increased by 318.1%, 255.3%, 150.0%, 130.9%, 103.9% and 73.9%, respectively. (3) Soil and water conservation carbon storage in the study area increased from 264.5 t in 1977 to 332.8 t in 2022, with an increase of 25.8%, of which only 3.5% increased from 1977 to 2004, 22.4% increased from 2004 to 2015, and it then tended to be stable after 2015. (4) Under the condition that the soil below the ridge crest line remained unchanged, the soil organic carbon sequestration potential was the highest when the terraced grassland measures were adopted above the ridge crest line, with an increase of 20.5% compared with 2022. …”
