Spatial distribution of vegetation carbon stock among different organs over the Tibetan Plateau: On an intensive field survey

We investigate geographic patterns and determinants of vegetation carbon density on the Tibetan Plateau through a systematic field investigation, covering 11 different vegetation types on the TP. Field sampling was conducted during the high growth period of mid-July to late August in 2018, 2019, and 2020. We divided the entire TP according to the latitude and longitude into 1,000 grids with equal area (0.5° × 0.5°).
