To examine spatial patterns and heterogeneities in greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration, mitigation and emission of different afforestation types (i.e., ecological, economic, timber and firewood forest) in the “Grain for Green” project (GGP), the authors estimated the GHG budgets of 30 typical tree species in afforested areas, established a carbon accounting and net mitigation (CANM-GGP) assessment framework, and determined the net carbon sequestration and mitigation rates of the four afforestation types in the GGP.
