The author drawls the conclusion:he amount of forest resources is the most important factor that influences forest carbon sequestration potential, which is fol lwed by forest ecological construction factor, forestry industry development and investment factor, forest disasters prevention, control and climate factor. The 31 provinces, cities and autonomous regions are divided into five gradients according to the comprehensive score of forest carbon sequestration development potential. As a result, the author puts forward corresponding measures to improve forest carbon sequestration potential.

Key words: forest carbon storage, forest carbon sequestration, potential, factor analysis
