Carbon Balance Manag

Article Synopsis
- Urban areas like Boston University are taking on climate change efforts as federal policy lags, with the study focusing on how different land cover types impact carbon (C) levels through sequestering and respiring processes.* -
- Despite efforts, all three Boston University campuses were found to emit more biogenic carbon than they sequestered, with trees offsetting some emissions but not enough to create a net positive impact.* -
- Landscaping strategies such as reducing mulch use and increasing tree cover could help minimize carbon emissions from urban campuses, although the study indicates these emissions are a minor part of overall emissions.*
