Reducing carbon emissions from anthropogenic sources such as industrial production and fossil-fueled transportation is paramount in the pursuit to reduce carbon footprints and tackle the challenge of global climate change. At the same time, natural vegetation and its ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) are central components in the mitigation of greenhouse gases. This natural process of CO2 sequestration is the result of photosynthesis; hence, a region’s potential to absorb carbon from the atmosphere is linked to its exposure to sunlight, precipitation and green leaf biomass.
