Analysis of the Driving Force of Spatial and Temporal Differentiation of Carbon Storage in Taihang Mountains Based on InVEST Model

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The subject of the paper is very interesting, nevertheless, in order to be published, there are some improvements to be made, namely:

-          The written English needs major improvements;

-          The first time InVEST and NDVI  are written, in the abstract,  the authors must write the full meaning of the acronyms;

-          Also in the abstract, where it is written: 1472.91×106t to 1478.17×106t ,the authors should write the meaning of t ;

-          I think the authors should explain why they have chosen the dates: n 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2019.

-          The figure 1 has no source….authors must always pu the source for each figure and table

-          Is there a source in English?. The source : (https://www.resdc.cn/) isn`t in English so it is difficult to confirm and access to data.

-          Normalized Difference Vegeta[1]tion Index (NDVI) appears only in page 3…it should be in the first page.

-          The discussion must be more complete, namely comparing the achieved results with more studies in China and other countries.

-          The paper should be enriched with more bibliographic references
