Therefore, cities are major contributors to climate change, and urban areas are responsible to emit a high proportion of CO 2 into the atmosphere (Churkina, 2008;Grimm et al., 2008). Accordingly, climate change mitigation strategies should be implied in cities to reduce CO 2 emissions (Sówka & Bezyk, 2018).The literature search shows that one of the cheapest, most sustainable, and most useful methods for reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is biological carbon sequestration (Nowak & Crane, 2002;Sinoga et al., 2012). Carbon sequestration, precisely, refers to a process in which the atmospheric carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds by photosynthesis process in trees, plants, phytoplankton, and algae (Adams
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
