Comparative estimations on carbon sequestration potential of selected urban trees in Kuching city

Amelioration of global warming presents opportunities fo urban forests to play a critical role in helping combating the increasing CO2 level in the atmosphere. Trees act as a sink for CO2 through photosynthesis and storing excess carbon as biomass. Although some studies have been done on the structu...
