Plantations actively participate in the global carbon cycle and play a significant role in mitigating global climate change. However, the influence of forest management strategies, especially planting density management, on the biomass carbon storage and production value of plantations for ensuring carbon sink benefits is still unclear. In this study, the authors estimated the carbon sequestration and economic value of Pinus massoniana plantations with various stand densities and rotation ages using a growth model method.
