Model computations on sequestration of carbon in managed forests and wood products under changing climatic conditions in Finland

Article Abstract:

Carbon sequestration between management options is more pronounced under changing climate conditions than under current climate. The effects of forest management on total carbon sequestration in forests and wood products is assessed using the gap-type forest model interfaced with a wood product model. Thirty mixed-species stands from medium fertility sites in southern Finland have been included in each simulation for 300 years. The first 100 years' average total balance was higher in the unmanaged system than in the managed system. The balance was reversed for the second and third 100 years.

Carbon storage and flux in urban residential greenspace

Article Abstract:

The measurement of carbon inputs, outputs and storage for greenspaces of two residential blocks reveal minute differences in the carbon storage uptake per unit area of land cover type or vegetation cover among the blocks. The variations in the two blocks in the area of the greenspace region and vegetation cover led to increased carbon storage and annual carbon uptake. Greenspace planning guidelines for optimizing energy savings is suggested.

Indirect carbon reduction by residential vegetation and planting strategies in Chicago, USA

Article Abstract:

A case study is presented on air quality management practices in two residential areas in Chicago, IL. Findings include a 3.2% to 3.9% decrease in carbon emissions in neighborhoods with a 33% tree cover, due to the effects of evapotranspiration, windspeed reduction and shading; benefits were highest where trees were planted densely on the north sides of buildings, and planted close to building walls on the west sides.
