[Distribution pattern and influencing factors of vegetation carbon storage of Tamarix chinense in the coastal wetland of Laizhou Bay, China].

The tamarisk shrub wetland located at the south of Laizhou Bay is the largest tamarisk area existing in the northern China, which is also the important part of the wetland ecological rehabilitation project 'Southern Mangrove Northern Tamarisk' in China. Based on the field data from Changyi National Marine Ecological Special Reserve surveyed in August 2014, we investigated the spatial patterns of vegetation, biomass, carbon content, and the associated environmental parameters in this area. The results showed that the average vegetation biomass and carbon storage were 949.
