3-3- Biomass volume, carbon sequestration, and carbon
absorption in an individual tree unit
Based on all the equations described in the first four steps, the total
annual gross carbon sequestration in the surveyed trees was about
1563.32 tons per year. Carbon sequestration was different between
various species. The percentage of carbon sequestration by the dominant
species (coniferous and broad leave) in the study area is given in Table
5.
The results revealed that plane trees had the highest carbon
sequestration, accounting for 25.42% of the sequestered carbon by
sampled trees within Isfahan parks. Also, the amount of tree biomass,
annual carbon sequestration, and annual carbon dioxide absorption in the
roots, trunk, and canopy of conifer and broad-leaved species were
calculated and represented in Table5.
