Abstract The problem of carbon content and dynamics in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems is of increasing interest due to the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the predicted global warming of the climate on our planet. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol was signed as an addition to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and it was replaced by the Paris Agreement, which obliged participating countries to regulate and control greenhouse gas emissions at the legislative level. In order to comply with environmental regulations and report on greenhouse gas emissions, it is necessary to calculate the emissions themselves. However, to date, there is no unified standardized methodology for calculating greenhouse gas emissions, and each organization has the right to determine its own methods for calculating emissions, which requires further practical study. Despite the variety of domestic and foreign methodological recommendations for accounting and calculating greenhouse gas emissions, organizations operating in the Russian Federation primarily use the guidelines and manuals described in the Orders of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation. In this scientific work, the authors evaluated the methods of quantitative determination and developed methodological recommendations for calculating greenhouse gas emissions from green spaces (trees and shrubs) within the established sanitary protection zone.
Keywords: decarbonization, carbon storage, green spaces, carbon landfills, greenhouse gases, sanitary protection zones, and carbon footprint
