In this paper some terrestrial carbon cycle models in the world and China are in troduced. After comparing the state-of-the-art development between the world an d China, it is suggested that, on the study on terrestrial carbon cycle models i n China, the following aspects should be paid attention to: (1) Future terrestrial carbon cycle models should pay attention to the developme nt of dynamic model and be able to simulate the impacts of human activities. (2) The models are dynamic. They can reveal not only the feedback relationship b etween terrestrial carbon cycle and climate change but also the interaction betw een terrestrial and atmosphere, and predict terrestrial dynamic change and feedb ack impact in China in future. (3) The models can utilize technique and methods of Geographical Information Sys tem and Remote Sensing to provide strong pools and data. (4) The models of terrestrial carbon cycle should couple with climate models to study the impacts of climate change on terrestrial carbon cycle. Meanwhile, the models should strengthen scenario study and predict changes in future so that th e models can provide theory basis and foundation for making policy of greenhouse gas emission in China.
