| Abstract: | Abstract- 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 identified to species level, and their diameter at breast height and height were recorded using ground measurements in terms of DBH, height and wood density of the tree. It is found that highest CO2 2535.64 kg/tree captured by Peltophorum pterocarpum followed by Limonia acidissima which is captured 690.85 kg of CO2 per tree. Total above ground biomass 2373.9, total below ground biomass 617.22, total biomass 2991.16, total carbon 1495.58 kg/tree. Total tree count of 2901 out of which Limonia acidissima found 2207 tree count which is maximum. It is found that total CO2 sequestered by the selected area is 2252.16 tonnes. Carbon sequestration is a way to mitigate the accumulation of the GHG’s (Green House Gases) in the atmosphere released by the incomplete burning of fossil fuels and other anthropogenic activities. |
