Abstract: Due to the elemental composition，structure，surface reactivity and environmental friendliness of dolomite (calcium carbonate magnesium) and limestone (calcium carbonate) minerals，there have been many studies in recent years to use them in soil conditioning，soil carbon sequestration，bamboo forest cultivation and so on. This paper reviews the application of carbonate minerals such as dolomite and limestone as well as their processed products such as quicklime and slaked lime in improving soil，promoting soil carbon sequestration and optimizing bamboo forest cultivation. The interaction of dolomite with hydrogen ions (H⁺) in acidified soil was used to improve soil acidification. Calcium and magnesium in dolomite and its calcined products was used as plant nutrients in soil. Dolomite interacts with organic matter in soil to promote the transformation of soil organic matter and increase the content of organic matter to promote soil carbon sequestration. Dolomite reduce the concentration of H⁺ in soil to avoid exchange and adsorption between H⁺ and heavy metal ions (such as Cd²⁺，Pb²⁺，Cr²⁺，etc.)，and alleviate heavy metal pollution in soil. Dolomite as a soil conditioner enrich the calcium and trace elements in the soil and promote the growth of bamboo. Adding calcium carbonate to fertilizer is beneficial to the growth of bamboo stump，big cherry，apple tree，etc.，and the better control of soil heavy metals valence. Meanwhile，the hydrated lime [Ca(OH)₂] produced by calcination of dolomite combine with H⁺ in soil to form weakly acidic salt and reduce the content of exchangeable acid (H⁺) in bamboo soil. In addition，Ca(OH)₂ precipitate metal ions such as Cd²⁺ and Pb²⁺，and alleviate the pollution of soil by effective heavy metal elements. Finally，the deficiencies in the research of dolomite and limestone minerals and application in soil conditioning，soil carbon sequestration and bamboo forest cultivation were analyzed，and the key problems and application technology development directions of carbonate minerals and processed products for soil conditioning，soil carbon sequestration and forestry cultivation in the future were discussed.
