Impact of Urban Expansion and In Situ Greenery on Community-Wide Carbon Emissions: Method Development and Insights from 11 US Cities.

Biogenic CO emissions in cities are shaped by urban land cover change which can release carbon stocks, and, carbon sequestration by in situ vegetation. To date, these two processes have not been studied together and compared with transboundary fossil fuel-based CO emissions of urban energy use. We leverage remote sensing and machine learning to quantify biogenic CO emissions between 2006 and 2012, across 11 U.
