Global Carbon Project.

Global Carbon project is the world’s reference web that integrates knowledge of greenhouse gases for human activities and the Earth system. It includes global budgets for three dominant greenhouse gases — carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide — and complementary efforts in urban, regional, cumulative, and negative emissions. The relative contribution of forests on global carbon footprint is detailed.

This article shows a synthesis, based on a suite of complementary approaches, of the primary production and carbon sink in forests of the 25-member states of the European Union (EU-25) during 1990–2005. It is a good reference on the role of forests on C dynamics.

USDA Carbon assessments.

The U.S Forest Service is a leader in developing tools for carbon assessment, management, and forest carbon cycle science. It is a good example for understanding the carbon implications for Urban Foresters.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) education resources on Carbon Cycle.

A good set of education materials for understanding Carbon cycle on earth based on a satellite perspective.

Pregitzer, C.C., Hanna, C., Charlop-Powers, S. et al. Estimating carbon storage in urban forests of New York City. Urban Ecosyst 25, 617–631 (2022).

This work is an example of carbon budget reporting for urban forested natural area using field-collected data across an entire city and model carbon stock and annual stock change in multiple forest pools. It is a good example of the CO2 potential storage of urban forests.
