What is Carbon Estimation and Why is it Important?

Carbon stock is the amount of carbon stored in an area, mainly in plants, soil, and other green elements. In the context of parks, carbon stock shows how much a park contributes to 'absorbing' carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) from the air through natural plant processes like photosynthesis. The absorbed carbon is then stored in stems, leaves, roots, and soil around it.

Carbon estimation refers to the estimated amount of carbon absorbed and stored by vegetation in a park. This calculation usually uses scientific methods based on plant species, tree size, area, and vegetation density. In other words, carbon estimation helps us understand a park's contribution to reducing air pollution and climate change impact.

Term Explanation

  • COâ‚‚ Absorbed : Estimated amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the plant.
