Abstract

Urbanization is a target and result of economic development in China. Urbanization has changed the type of urban land use, and also affected the soil carbon cycle of urban ecosystem. In this paper, the land use change characteristics and soil carbon content in different land use types of urban ecosystem in the process of urbanization were reviewed, as well as the influence of urbanization on soil carbon characteristics, and the main factors affecting the carbon storage in urban surface soil. Finally, the future research direction of soil carbon cycle in urban ecosystem was discussed, and some countermeasures and suggestions were put forward to ensure soil carbon balance.
