Abstract

Climate change is often called changes caused by natural factors or human activities in terms of worldwide or regional, and it usually means a giant change or lasting a long time (≥10 years) on average and statistically, which includes changes in terms of mean value and change rate. Whereas, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) defines it as “climate change caused directly or indirectly by human activity’s changing the combination of the atmosphere after a long time of observation, apart from natural climate changes”. Although the two definitions differ a lot, now people mainly concern these climate change phenomenon: global warming in climate and ocean, frequency changes of extreme climate events, polar and mountain snow and glacier melting, lining up of the global ocean surface level, global precipitation changes in terms of time and space, increasing drought and flood, and other physical and chemical factors influencing global temperature and precipitation directly. Terrestrial ecosystem’s carbon cycle is the key to its material and energy cycle, and also a tie of geosphere–biosphere–atmosphere interaction. To deeply understand the carbon cycle’s process and mechanism is the basis to discuss ecosystem’s carbon management strategy and to analyze human’s progress in preventing and regulating global warming. This chapter systematically states our country’s research progress on climate change’s historical process in the first place, and then it makes comments on China’s carbon cycle study from several perspectives as the relationship between carbon cycle and climate change, carbon budget and its cycling mechanism, human activity’s influence on carbon cycle, global change’s influence on carbon cycle, etc. It then summarizes research progress in studying carbon cycle process, its influencing factors and global changing response from different perspectives of forestry, grassland, farmland, wetland, etc. Finally, it makes a comprehensive comment on our country’s technological progress in terrestrial ecosystem’s carbon-nitrogen-water flux observation technology and applications, which provides valuable information to China’s scientific research work, state-level carbon budget evaluation, and greenhouse gas management in the field of ecosystem carbon cycle.
