Effects of national ecological restoration projects on carbon sequestration in China from 2001 to 2010
Open accessAbstract
Significance China has launched six key ecological restoration projects since the late 1970s, but the contribution of these projects to terrestrial C sequestration remains unknown. In this study we examined the ecosystem C sink in the project area (∼16% of the country’s land area) and evaluated the project-induced C sequestration. The total annual C sink in the project area between 2001 and 2010 was estimated to be 132 Tg C per y, over half of which (74 Tg C per y, 56%) was caused by the implementation of the six projects. This finding indicates that the implementation of the ecological restoration projects in China has significantly increased ecosystem C sequestration across the country.

“Evidence from local (Schulte et al ., 2009; Zhang et al ., 2025), national (Ouyang et al ., 2016; Lu et al ., 2018) and global scales (Naidoo et al ., 2008; Benayas et al ., 2009) shows that well-designed interventions can substantially enhance ES provision.”
Carbon Sequestration Potential of China’s Terrestrial Ecosystem Incorporating Moisture Recycling
Nan, J., Li, W., Lu, Z., & Peng, S. (2026) · Forests · doi:10.3390/f17080977
“Over recent decades, large-scale ecological restoration programs, including the Grain-for-Green Program and the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program, have enhanced regional carbon sequestration capacity [3–5].”
Liu, S., Hua, T., Zhang, S., Zhang, Y., & Zhao, W. (2026) · Land Degradation and Development · doi:10.1002/ldr.70863
“China has implemented extensive afforestation initiatives to mitigate environmental degradation, notably the Grain for Green Program and Three-North Shelter Forest Program in northern China (An et al. 2025; Liu et al. 2008; Lu et al. 2018; Ouyang et al. 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
