Overview

Ecological survey reveals that community structure and biodiversity drive carbon sequestration in urban parks, suggesting targeted species selection optimizes climate mitigation.

Key Points

To quantify woody plant carbon storage and sequestration across urban parks and determine how community structure, biodiversity, and spatial attributes govern carbon sink capacity.
Surveyed woody plant species composition, quantities, and spatial traits across 81 urban parks in Xinyang, Henan Province, China.
Assessed park attributes, community structure, biodiversity, spatial distribution, connectivity, and complexity to establish statistical models of carbon storage and sequestration.
Average carbon storage density reached 4.01 kg/m2, while mean carbon sequestration density was 0.39 kg·C·m2·yr−1 across surveyed parks.
Dominant planted species (Ligustrum lucidum, Osmanthus fragrans, Lagerstroemia indica) diverged markedly from species with the highest carbon sequestration potential (Glyptostrobus pensilis, Populus deltoides, Albizia kalkora).
Park attributes, community structure, and biodiversity served as the primary determinants influencing woody vegetation carbon sink capacity.
