14.2 Shrubs
Cultivable shrubs vary in different areas. In landscaping, the best to help in climate
change reduction factors should be chosen. All are always looking for the most CO 2
absorption plants for either the leaf area unit or the hole mature plant. We also look
for the most plants that have evaporation of water that requires energy taken by the
plant from the air. Taking into account the rest of the contaminants (Tables 1 and 2).
Tree crown size is a key variable in this context as it correlates with the space. A
tree occupies as well as with the physiological tree functions. Crown prolongation
area and crown volume, can be used as proxy variables for leaf area and leaf biomass
[166].
14.3 Benefits of Planting Trees
Planting trees is massively beneficial to the world in the face of hastening climate
change [167]. There is nowadays a strong international scientific agreement that
human activity is beginning global warming. A considerable drop in the planet’s
forest cover over last and recent centuries is a major sponsor to this climatic change
[137]. As trees grow they absorb carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), the first main ‘greenhouse
gas’ responsible for global warming, thereby reducing the concentration of this gas
in the atmosphere. Methane is the second greenhouse gas responsible for global
warming, some trees can reduce the concentration of this gas in the atmosphere.
Carbon absorption rates in trees depend on the species and the location. Fastgrowing species in tropical climates can sequester CO 2 many times faster than the
average European forest, and plantation projects aimed at earning carbon credits are
typically designed to maximize the sequestration potential.
Over a 20-year lifecycle, the right species in the right conditions can absorb over
40,000 tons of CO 2 per km
2 . So, a plantation of 100 km
2 can absorb 4 million tons
of CO 2 over 20 years. That is equivalent to taking 50,000 cars or more off the road
during that time (based on annual emissions of 3–4 tones for the average car and its
usage).
