[Objective] The objective of this study is to analyze the carbon storage and spatial distribution of regional forest resources in order to provide a scientific basis for management and planning for the local forest carbon sinks. [Methods] Based on the forest resource inventory data in Hebei Province, the carbon storage and density in Qinhuangdao City were calculated. The biomass expansion factor continuous function method established by Fang Jingyun was used to calculate carbon stock in tree species. The average biomass was used to calculate carbon stock in shrubs and economic forest. [Results] In 2005, the carbon storage of forest vegetation was 4.30×10⁶ t, the average carbon density was 11.72 t/hm². The spatial distribution of forest vegetation carbon storage exhibited a declining trend from north to south, whereas carbon density gradually increased in the same direction. The carbon storage of forest stand accounted for 56.04% of total forest vegetation carbon storage, and average carbon density of forest stand was 12.09 t/hm², respectively. Natural forest stands was higher than artificial forest in carbon storage, and the carbon sequestration of forest stand was mainly distributed in young and middle-aged forest, which accounted for 56.31% and 24.70% of carbon storage, respectively. [Conclusion] Forest vegetation have a great potential for carbon sequestration in Qinhuangdao City.
