Carbon emission is increasing in the world due to exponential growing of population, excessive usage of natural resources which resulted with environmental pollution and decline in biodiversity. Carbon emission as a result of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide rising is the main reason of climate change and global warming. Reducing the amount of CO2 and greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere; is possible by increasing the use of vegetative mass, limit emissions, and increasing the amount of carbon in carbon pools (ocean, soil, vegetation, etc.). In forest ecosystem the soil, biomass and water have essential roles in carbon deposition that is the basic element of carbon dioxide. Since trees have the capacity of storing CO2 via photosynthesis, they execute important functions for the formation of important sinks by deposition of carbon in plant biomass and under the soil. To reduce the amount of carbon emissions in cities, afforestation is made on the roadsides from tree species that deposit exhaust gases and are resistant to difficult conditions. Lindens are trees that have resistance against, winds air pollution and poor quality soils, also tolerant for variable climate conditions, and sensitive for frost and drought. In literature there exists not enough studies that examines carbon sequestration and storage capacity of lindens while there exist some other papers regarding other species such as scotch pine, larch, red pine, cedar, and poplar. In this study we aimed to investigate the possible role of lindens used for arborization of cities for carbon sequestration and storage. This review, in which various articles were discussed, will be informative for those who are interested in the subject.
