Development and prospect on land use/cover change and carbon cycle in typical wetland area of Poyang lake

This paper summarizes the researches of recent years on land use/cover change (LUCC) and carbon cycle in typical wetland ecosystem of Poyang lake. Besides, the developments of carbon cycle in three aspects (carbon fixation, carbon storage and carbon emission) and the characters of LUCC in wetland ecosystem were analyzed. Based on the analysis, this paper discusses the problems that must be resolved to improve the veracity of the forecast results, and points out the direction to the research in the future.
