Land use and land cover(LULC)play a significant role in carbon ***-China accounts for~65%of China’s carbon *** Xishuangbanna(South-China),rubber is expanding rapidly creating an urgent need to understand and monitor LULC change and how spatial variation affects carbon storage(CS).This is vital for the formation and implementation of better land use management *** studied LULC changes of 22-year period;addressing how these changes have affected the *** quantified LULC changes between1988 and 2010 using remote sensing methods and calculated CS changes using *** showed that between 1988 and 2010,the rate of deforestation accelerated to 203.2 km^(2)y^(−1)and~23%of forest were *** of natural forest to rubber was responsible for 78%of this *** expansion rate was 153.4 km^(2)y^(−1).Changes to LULC drove a temporal CS reduction 0.223 Tg C/km^(2).Local stakeholders have strong economic interest in converting land to more profitable *** efforts is required to control land conversion through new policies and incentives to retain natural *** of specific potential land use change will be required to avoid promoting the conversion of high carbon storage land uses to low carbon storage land uses.
