ABSTRACT
The CO2, is one of the major contributors of greenhouse gases has exceeded 400ppm, with an atmospheric lifetime of 5-200 years depending on different rates of uptake by different sequestering or scavenging processes ( IPCC). Anthropogenic activities over the years has most certainly hastened the phenomenon of global warming and the consequences. Bengaluru is one of the fast growing metropolitan cities in the country and as a result, carbon emission is increasing which in turn is adding contributing the effects of global warming. CO2 is removed and stored by trees. This study aims to estimate the potential of roadside trees to sequester carbon. Key words: Carbon sequestered, roadside trees, GBH
