Abstract: Based on the tree species and their areas afforested under the Grain-for-Green Program(GGP) in Tibet from 2002 to 2010,the carbon sequestration potential of stands under the GGP was estimated for fifty years in the future by making use of the growth curves for different tree species simulated from the data about plantation growth of the National Forest Inventory and the tree biomass expansion factors(BEF),wood density(WD) and carbon fraction(CF) obtained by research literatures.The results showed that the carbon sinks in the GGP stands in Tibet will reach 0.214,0.205,0.159,0.087,and 0.054 TgC/a by the year of 2020,2030,2040,2050 and 2060 in no cutting scene,but it will reach 0.214,(-0.205),0.171,0.243,and(-0.352) TgC/a in cutting scene.

Key words: Tibet, Grain-for-Green Program, carbon storage, carbon sinks
