The carbon stock of Moso bamboo forests in China varies along a latitude gradient. A study found that as you move from north to south, the diameter of bamboo culms increases while culm density decreases. This leads to a decrease in bamboo biomass carbon from 60.58 to 48.31 Mg C ha−1. The total carbon stock of Moso bamboo forests, including soil and biomass carbon, ranges from 87.83 to 119.5 Mg C ha−1 and increases with latitude. Moso bamboo can sequester 6.0 to 7.6 Mg C ha−1 annually, making it a promising species for carbon storage.
