Comparing the Level of Carbon Sequestration Capability of Different Soft Landscape in UBC

The significance of carbon sequestration rates in soft landscapes is discussed in the context of urban planning and the role of vegetation in mitigating climate change. LiDAR data and aerial photos estimate above-ground carbon sequestration and GIS and R are used for data analysis.

The research objectives are to compare the attributes of different soft landscapes, calculate their carbon sequestration rates, identify which soft landscapes have the highest carbon sequestration capacity, and discuss the study's limitations and possible improvements for future research. The proposed methods include data pre-processing, developing a canopy height model, and estimating carbon sequestration capacity for each soft landscape area.
