The researchers estimated the amount of organic carbon stored in the Bayinbuluke alpine grassland ecosystem by combining field surveys, remote sensing data, and GIS techniques. They found that the above-ground vegetation stores about 44.44% of the total carbon, while the underground root system stores around 55.56%. The average carbon content in the soil is 16.801 C kg/m^2, with a total soil organic carbon storage of about 3,019.244×10^4 tons.
