In order to assess forest carbon sequestration development potential, we propose the concept of forest carbon sequestration potential index, and screen out the potential development area of forest, forest structure, forest tree growth rate, biodiversity and social economy five indicators,and get five indexes weights were 0.35, 0.25, 0.20, 0.10, 0.10 by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process which shows that the index importance index of forest carbon sequestration potential is one of the largest forest area o...
