The southern city of Guangzhou, which has a humid subtropical climate, saw snow for the first time since 1967 on Sunday, the city's meteorological service said.
This hypothesis was evidenced by the "snow, fully humid, cool summer" climatic region (Dfc) having the highest mean total dead and downed wood carbon stock of 9.73 tonnes ha^-1.
Coarse and fine woody debris carbon stocks vary by climatic region with the largest mean stocks found in dry/cool climates such as "warm temperate with dry summer (Cs)" and "snow, fully humid, cool summer (Dfc)" where decay rates may be reduced (Table 1).
Df = snow climate, fully humid; Ds = snow climate with dry summer; Cf = warm temperate climate, fully humid; Cs = warm temperate with dry summer; Aw = equatorial savannah with dry winter; ?

On Sunday, the Chinese city of Guangzhou, which usually experiences a warm and humid climate all year round, saw snow for the first time since 1967, The Associated Press reported.
And as the day warmed, the sounds that had rung out so clearly in the freeze — the clinking of the gate chain, the stiff squeal of my boots on the snow — grew more and more humid.
Clearly, further investigations under different meteorological conditions (e.g., in a warmer season without snow cover and in a highly humid rainy season) are needed.
