Table 2 Extent of lawn and mulched landcover on each of Boston University’s urban campuses, as well as total biogenic emissions and sequestration, net biogenic C flux, and ACES-derived Scope 1 emissions
From: Influence of landscape management practices on urban greenhouse gas budgets
Campus (area) | Mulch cover (%) | Lawn cover (%) | Emissions via mulch (Mg C ha−1 year−1) | Emissions via lawn (Mg C ha−1 year−1) | C sequestered (Mg C ha−1 year−1) | Net Biogenic C flux (Mg C ha−1 year−1) | Scope 1 emissions (Mg C ha−1 year−1) |
