Quantitative Analysis of Natural Green Forests for Relative Replacements by Additional New Plantations

Amitesh Vijay Mourya, Dr Nisar Khan, Dr Virendra Kumar Paul

Abstract


The climate change is an issue worldwide. It has been identified and addressed in IPCC reports and world climate conferences. The sustainable development goals adopted to contain the ill effects of climate change include a critical parameter of green area conservation and development. The planning concepts through the 20th century advocated the inclusion of urban green areas due to their benefits at numerous levels.
The natural green in terms of trees and forests reserves is declining in the process of urbanization. The decline is being tried to replenish through planned urban green landscaped areas. The quality of green is different as well as the purpose and effectiveness of each green is different. This paper tries to quantify the loss quantitatively with comparison of landscaped parks and gardens developed of same area. The paper will also address the issue to distribution of urban green spaces and their effectiveness on the climate change mitigation in urban areas.
