Abstract
Land use and land cover in China has gone through dramatic changes in the past fifty years. Its consequences in global change, particularly in carbon sequestration and hydrological processes, are unknown. Although substantial effort has been made over the past decade, there is little integrative effort across different disciplines. This NASA funded research project is dedicated to bring scientists together to assess the land use and land cover dynamics of China and their consequences in carbon sequestration.
