“…These results suggest that plants with large leaf surfaces do not necessarily absorb huge amounts of carbon dioxide. The leaf sample area impacts both divisors in the calculation method and the absorption of CO2, according to studies by Shishegaran [27] and Syuhada [38]. The capacity of a leaf to absorb CO2 decreases with its width.…”

“…Data from the Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB) released in 2019 showed that one mature trambesi tree with branches of more than 15 meters can absorb 28.5 tons of CO2 equivalent gas per year or 78.000 gram CO2/day [26]. In Aydin Shishegaran's research [27], aloe vera performs better than other plants based on decreasing CO2 concentration and humidity. Tests were carried out to reduce CO2 concentrations under various meteorological conditions, especially humidity and temperature.…”

Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in the earth’s average surface temperature, which has an impact on climate change. The cause of global warming is the inhibition of heat transfer from the earth’s surface to space, which is analogous to the greenhouse effect. The occurrence of the greenhouse effect is due to the large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by the complete combustion of fuel in vehicles and industrial processes. The rising use of fossil fuels and the ongoing reduction in forest plants’ ability to absorb CO2 is to blame for the rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere. To reduce the increase in CO2 gas, one effort that can be made is to increase CO2-absorbing plants. In this regard, plants are able to absorb CO2 and convert it into oxygen and glucose by utilizing solar heat. The purpose of this study is to determine the ability to absorb CO2 from several types of plants. The test was carried out using two closed test rooms with dimensions of 100×50×50 cm, where room 1 (first) was used to store 0.5% of CO2 emissions, while room 2 (second) was used for the plants being tested. Gas is flowed into room 2 using a fan for 300 minutes, and data collection is carried out every 60 minutes. Based on results obtained in this line of research, the best plant ability to absorb CO2 can be ordered as follows 0.25 mg/m2.hour for squirrel tail, 0.243 mg/m2.hour for trembesi, 0.2 mg/m2.hour for mahogany, 0.177 mg/m2.hour for kaffir lime, 0.166 mg/m2.hour for mango, and 0.166 mg/m2.hour for cape.

Due to the global urbanization, the stock of older communities has been increasing drastically over time and living conditions have continued to deteriorate. Specifically, narrow building spaces and unreasonable community layouts would easily lead to the accumulation of air pollutants, which is more critical to public health as the recurrence of infectious diseases continues to be a threat to elderly residents. Thus, the need to improve and renovate the outdoor environment of old communities is urgent. This study proposes an environmental renovation strategy which explores the optimization of greenery and the application of wind deflector to improve the global and local wind environment. An old community in Suzhou, a national historical city in China, was selected as the case study. Based on field investigations, data measurement and comprehensive simulations, problematic areas were identified and renovation strategies were designed. As a result, the renovation achieved about 60% reduction of the vortex area and 40% reduction of the wind-free area, while also improving the green space ratio from 24% to 40.2%. The selection of greenery was also discussed regarding the antibacterial effect, carbon sequestration and air purification. A working flow chart has been synthesized for improving the outdoor environment of old communities.

“…However, there is a limited open space in Kuantan city which can be a challenge to reduce the carbon footprint of the area. Certain plants and trees that can control carbon absorption have been increasingly popular in residential areas, which can improve air quality and reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases (Franek & Jarský, 2021;Shishegaran et al, 2020). For Kuantan, air quality has become one of the most crucial elements in improving the city's image as a sustainable city in Malaysia.…”

Carbon footprint is one of the critical elements in assessing the level of sustainability of an urban area or forest area. Cities are a vital contributor to climate change with 75 percent of global carbon emissions are from cities. Transportation, buildings and urban activities are among the most critical contributors of greenhouse carbon emission globally. The study aims to identify the current condition of total carbon produced in the study area. Geospatial and observation approaches with social distance and standard operation procedure were used during the data collection and fieldwork at the study area. Mapping analysis and survey were used to analyse the activities conducted and the carbon consumption level by visitors of the area. Preliminaries’ findings indicate that the visitors’ activities and carbon consumption were high within the existing green area at Esplanade Kuantan, Pahang.
