Project Objective Project Objective Project Objective
China has established more than 50 million ha of for-
ests in the last 30 years, equivalent to 1/4 of all global
afforestation during this period.
However, the condition of many of these forests is not
optimal, especially in the subtropical regions of China,
due to different limiting factors. Thus, they likely do
not optimally provide environmental services such as
water and soil protection.

The objective is to develop and analyze new technolo-
gies and innovative methodological approaches for
strategic improvement of the management, harvesting
and utilization of young and middle aged plantation
forests in subtropical regions of China in the context of
land use improvement under climate change, and to
contribute to the establishment of a global partnership
for development and environmental sustainability by
focusing on the sustainable scientific dialogue between
Germany and China.
The joint project consisting of 2 subprojects
Lin4Carbon (1) and Lin4Wood (2) is subdivided into
10 work packages (WPs) in order to ensure achieve-
ment of project objectives. Each WP has a focus.
However, there is a clear inherent linkage among
WPs, especially those in the same subproject.
In general, Chinese and German partners will work
collaboratively within each WP as seen in the figure
below.
With an extensive land area, China has significant po-
tential for carbon sequestration to mitigate climate
change. This can be accomplished by improving forest
management to increase the quantity and quality of the
biomass in existing forests in addition to expanding
forest area. The role that Chinese forests can play in
combatting climate change is therefore of global signif-
icance.
The scientific and technical cooperation in forestry
between Germany and China has a long history and
continues to be promoted. This project is motivated by
their common interest and efforts to establish multi-
functional forestry and adapt forest management strate-
gies to climate change. For example, “close to nature
forestry” is implemented as the guiding silvicultural
principle in the German Federal State of Lower Saxo-
ny (Partner State of Anhui Province, and its forest ad-
ministration is an associated partner of this project)
since 1990 and also in a few Chinese provinces in re-
