Potential of carbon sequestration and storage by trees in and around B.A.M. University campus of Aurangabad city in Maharashtra, India
@inproceedings{Potadar2017PotentialOC, title={Potential of carbon sequestration and storage by trees in and around B.A.M. University campus of Aurangabad city in Maharashtra, India}, author={Vishnu R. Potadar and Satish S Patil}, year={2017} }
Urban development continues to change the shape of landscapes and impact over carbon storage capacity of the trees. To date, the influence of urban patterns on tree carbon density remains to be systematically evaluated. The study was carried out in and around Dr. B. A. M. university area of Aurangabad city to know the CO2 sequestration from selected ten tree species. Assessment of carbon sequestration of urban trees was carried out through biomass estimation and quantification. Trees are…
