Abstract

Artificial vegetation is an important biological component to absorb carbon dioxide for ecosystem health. The artificial carbon sink forest plays an important role in carbon emission reduction. Based on data of Landsat TM in August, 2009, the ecological landscape pattern of artificial forest in Karamay is obtained. Furthermore, using NDVI and soil sapling date to estimate carbon density. i.e, depending on the differences of landscape pattern, the soil sampling has done. Taking soil samples to chemical experience in laboratory, the physical and chemical characteristics are understood. From the quantitative results of elements´ content in the soil sample in different sampling sites, the soil organic carbon are evaluated.
