“…Therefore, there would be some major components of trees that play a vital role in absorbing and storing carbon that are further explored in detail in the next section The biomass had a strong and significant positive linear relationship, which had the most notable influence on CS in this study. The findings of previous research verified that biomass was a major contributor to the carbon stock in trees [41,42]. Wellbrock et al [43] found 46 % of carbon storage in above and below biomass.…”

Biophilic urbanism as an emerging paradigm in the design field has initiated various patterns of naturebased mutation. One of the most associated environmental benefits of this amalgamation of nature in urban design is carbon sequestration [CS]. The main focus of this research was to quantify the potential of trees to act as carbon reservoirs. It was investigated by assessing the roles of several tree parameters, such as diameter at breast height [DBH], height, biomass, and age in CS. A comparison of native and exotic trees was also done for this. In a field survey at Jilani Park, Lahore, 16 different families of trees (N = 115) were measured through a non-destructive method and CS was calculated. The results revealed that sample trees sequestered 588452.9 kg of carbon with an annual rate of 19998.92 kg and Combretaceae (M = 11813.65, SD = 6492.38) and Moraceae (M = 9909.93, SD = 12695.26) were the dominant families in doing so. The Pearson’s correlation and linear regression analyses indicated that biomass and DBH have a significant positive relationship with CS, r = 0.100, R2 = 0.99, and r = 0.943, R2 = 0.89, respectively. The independent-sample t-test revealed a significant difference in CS capacity between native and exotic trees, with t (67.626) = 3.016, p =.004, and the greater biomass and DBH of native trees were the distinguishable factors. To conclude, trees are the most efficient source of carbon attenuation in the urban environment, and native species have an advantage in this process. This study will inspire new endeavours in research related to the benefits of biophilic cities.

“…It also improved ecological quality and carbon sequestration capacity, as [47] reported. According to [48], it was confirmed that ~260 million tons of carbon were stored from 2000 to 2010, profiting from the gradual vegetation improvement in the Chinese Loess Plateau.…”

The relationship between the source and sink of atmospheric CO2 has always been a widely discussed issue in global climate change research. Recent studies revealed that the chemical weathering of carbonate rocks contributed to 1/3 (~0.5 Pg C/yr) of the missing carbon sinks (MCS) globally, and there are still 2/3 of MCS (~0.5 Pg C/yr) that need to be explored. As one of the main overburdened parts of the earth, loess is one of the important driving factors for atmospheric CO2 consumption. Here, we elaborated on the dissolution process and the carbon sink effect from carbonate and silicate minerals in loess. The relationship between carbonate dissolution and carbon source/sink is elucidated, and the mechanism of carbon sink formation from secondary carbonates in loess is clarified. Additionally, the commonly used methods for the identification of primary and secondary carbonates are summarized, and the methods for the study of loess carbon sinks and the influencing factors of loess carbon sinks are also revealed. Based on the research results and progress interpretations, the prospects of loess carbon sinks are discussed to provide a scientific basis for further research on loess carbon sinks.
