英文摘要：

The ecosystem of Karst in southwest area of China, was one of ecological environment frail areas. As the first major form of terrestrial ecosystem, forest biomass has played great roles in maintaining ecosystem balance, Karst rocky desertification ecological management and reconstruction, and sustainable development in Karst region. This paper systematically analyzed studies on biomass and carbon storage of forest ecosystems in southwest Karst area of China, and summarized three methods of forest biomass and carbon storage estimation. Based on all of these studies, some problems and opinions of future study were discussed.
