Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: Carbon dioxide accumulation in the atmosphere brought by various anthropogenic activities has dramatically increased the effects of climate change in the Philippines. Carbon stock assessment in various forest locations is being conducted in otder to determine the approximate current carbon stock which would reflect its ability to sequester carbon in the atmosphere. Trees in parks and streets are potential carbon sinks in urban places. This study aims to assess the current carbon stock in three selected areas of Rizal Park namely; Binhi ng Kalayaan Garden, Japanese Garden, and Cross Plaza. The Above ground biomass (AGB) of trees was measured by determining the DBH and applying the equation of Basuki. Trees with DBH > 5 cm were included. The average carbon content of wood used in this study is 45% which is based on the several locations in the Philippines. Among the selected sites, the Binhi ng kalayaan garden has the highest carbon stock (103.62 Mg/ha) followed by Japanese Garden (72.6Mg/ha and Chess Plaza (24.29 Mg/ha). The Binhi ng kalayaan garden shows to have the most diverse (33 species) and abundant trees (222 individuals) among other selected areas. Other editions:
