How green is an urban tree? The impact of species selection in reducing the carbon footprint of park trees in Swedish cities

IntroductionPlanting trees in urban areas can mitigate some of the emissions generated in cities by carbon sequestration (annual uptake of CO2 through the process of photosynthesis) and carbon storage (amount of carbon stored in the tree's biomass throughout its lifespan). The aim of this study...
