Assessment of urban park landscape setting design towards carbon sequestration rate

Urban parks varies in size ranging from 400 to 30 000 hectares all over the world and one thing in common they possessed is that urban trees play an important role in mitigating the impacts of climate change by sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Calculation of carbon (C) stored and seque...
