Carbon Sequestration Background

Carbon Sequestration in Recreational Parks

This project studies carbon sequestration patterns in UTM's recreational parks from 2025 to 2035. Our research focuses on measuring and predicting carbon storage capacities of different vegetation types and park management strategies.

About the Project

Project Objectives

  • To acquire precise geospatial data on tree height, diameter at breast height (DBH), and biomass using LiDAR technology
  • To evaluate the UTM Recreational Forest's carbon sequestration capacity, and analyze tree growth trends and biomass accumulation
  • To forecast future carbon sequestration from 2025 to 2035 using expected tree growth rates
  • To provide data-driven insights for sustainable forest management and policy suggestions that improve carbon sequestration

Limitations

Urban green spaces play a crucial role in climate change mitigation. Our study provides actionable insights for:

  • Urban planning decisions
  • Carbon credit calculations
  • Biodiversity conservation

Key Observations

Our projections show an estimated decrease in carbon sequestration capacity for each year. Notable findings include:

  • Some areas show highest sequestration rates
  • The decrease of the carbon sequestrations are quite noticable
  • Most of the findings are either low or moderate
