Quantification of the carbon stocks and carbon sequestration in urban trees
Description:
The project aims to develop the methodological foundation and test concepts for the establishment of carbon inventories in urban areas, focusing on biomass in urban trees. Methods encompass (1) an inventory procedure based on remote sensing, (2) gathering biomass data for urban trees and (3) deriving biomass functions and biomass growth functions.
