Urban forests provide ecological functions and human well-being. However, spatiotemporal
changes in urban forest carbon sequestration (CS) under rapid urbanization remain poorly …

Abstract The 3-30-300 rule is a recently proposed metric that sets minimum standards for
access to nature in cities for human wellbeing. It specifies that homes, schools and …

Urban ecological spatial patterns affect the carbon sequestration capacity of green spaces.
High-resolution carbon concentration data simulated by Envi-met4. 4.5 were obtained in …

Abstract The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a popular proxy of urban
greenspace (UGS). However, it's unclear how NDVI approximates physical characteristics of …

Individual tree structure mapping in cities is important for urban environmental studies.
Despite mapping products for tree canopy cover and biomass are reported at multiple …

Urban areas and green spaces are significant atmospheric carbon sources and sinks.
Spatial planning is crucial for improving the urban carbon budget. However, there are many …

Urbanization is a current concern, particularly in Africa, where it is expected to continue and
increasingly threaten the effectiveness of plant biodiversity, natural carbon sinks, and the …

Despite evidence from forest vegetation that mixed plant stands and diversity increase soil
organic carbon (SOC) content, it remains uncertain whether this scenario is true for urban …

Forest ecosystem is a basic component of terrestrial ecosystem that mitigates the impact of
climate change through absorbing significant amount of carbon dioxide. Forest is crucial in …

Green spaces, such as urban parks, function as carbon absorption strategies for the
attainment of carbon neutrality. However, urban parks are at risk of losing their carbon …
