In several carbon sequestration projects which were proposed at home and abroad in transportation field, there are two different pathways to sequester carbon, one is the soil carbon sequestration (SCS), the other is the plant biomass carbon sequestration (PBCS). The carbon sequestration mechanism, carbon sequestration ability and corresponding research methods of SCS and PBCS were reviewed in this paper respectively. After a comparative analysis, the reason why they should be coordinated working is given. Finally, we proposed a carbon sequestration management system based on local climate conditions, hoping to provide some technical advice to the implementation of the carbon trading in the field of transportation in the future.
