Short summary
The fusion of ground-based forest inventory data with satellite observations achieved with HASM-S provided much more accurate estimates of forest carbon stocks, comparing with either the remote sensing descriptions or the forest inventory data. The HASM-S results show that the forest carbon stocks of China have increased by 2.24 Pg during the period 1984–2008 to a new high of 7.08 Pg C in 2008.
