Comprehensive evaluation of carbon sequestration potential of landscape tree species and its influencing factors analysis: implications for urban green space management.

Background: Continuous increasing carbon dioxide (CO) has aggravated global warming and promoted urban tree planting projects for many countries. So it's imperative to select high carbon sequestering landscape tree species while considering their aesthetic values of urban green space.

Results: 32 tree species were selected as test objects which were commonly used in landscaping in Zhengzhou, a typical northern city of China.
