Urban green park landscape design model for monitoring, predicting and calculating carbon sequestration rate

The excessive reliance on fossil fuels and carbon production from daily appliances could cause a detrimental impact on the surrounding environment. This is due to the increase in carbon emissions which is one of the major contributors to the greenhouse effect. To alleviate the carbon footprint in th...
