Carbon storage and biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emission profiles of urban tree species

Caption

Carbon stock and BVOC emissions of six dominant tree species in Beijing were estimated using biomass models and satellite data. Robinia pseudoacacia and Populus tomentosa had the highest carbon densities, while Populus and Quercus emitted the most BVOCs. Betula platyphylla and Robinia pseudoacacia were identified as optimal species for urban afforestation, balancing high carbon uptake with low emissions.
