Studies On Biomass Production Of Urban Parks For Carbon Pool Analysis

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has been increasing progressively for last two centuries resulting in climate change. There are two alternatives to reduce CO2; one is to decrease carbon emissions and second is to increase carbon sink. Therefore, this study is going to focus on carbon pool, specifically in terms of urban parks vegetation. As we know, urban trees can help to mitigate climate change by sequestering atmospheric carbon. Thus; the need of the hour is to probe ways and means of managing the levels of GHGs. Urban parks as lungs of the cities can reduce atmospheric CO2 directly and indirectly therefore improving environmental quality; providing a wide variety of ecological services and amenities to communities, and contribute significantly to human health and environmental quality. Development of sustainable green cities in the near future is the prior need of today's fast urbanizing world. Sequestration of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems is a low-cost option available in the near-term to mitigate increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, while providing additional benefits.
