Abstract

Karst areas are vast and harbor a large amount of organic carbon, which plays an important role in the soil carbon sink effect of terrestrial ecosystems. Vegetation restoration has led to a significant increase in soil carbon sequestration, and the karst soil carbon sink effect will continue to increase in the new era. In view of this, this paper firstly summarizes the research progress on soil organic carbon content in the process of karst vegetation restoration, then reviews the current status, progress and uncertainty of the research on soil carbon stock and sequestration effect in karst region, and summarizes the driving factors of soil organic carbon stock; finally, it provides an outlook on the possible problems and challenges of soil carbon sink effect in the process of karst vegetation restoration, so as to provide important references for the karst region's soil carbon sink Finally, it provides an outlook on the possible problems and challenges of the soil carbon sink effect in the process of karst vegetation restoration, which will provide an important reference for the enhancement of soil carbon sink function and ecological benefits in karst areas.
