Abstract

Carbon storage estimates are essential for sustainable urban planning and development. This study examines the spatio-temporal effects of land use and land cover changes on the provision and monetary value of above- and below-ground carbon sequestration and storage during 2011, 2019, and the simulated year 2027 in Noida. The Google Earth Engine-Random Forests (GEE-RF) classifier, the Cellular Automata Artificial Neural Network (CA-ANN) model, and the InVEST-CCS model are some of the software tools applied for the analysis. The findings demonstrate that the above- and below-ground carbon storage for Noida is 23.95 t/ha. Carbon storage in the city increased between 2011 and 2019 by approximately 67%. For the predicted year 2027, a loss in carbon storage is recorded. The simulated land cover for the year 2027 indicates that if the current pattern continues for the next decade, the majority of the land will be transformed into either built-up or barren land. This predicted decline in agriculture and vegetation would further lead to a slump in the potential for terrestrial carbon sequestration. Urban carbon storage estimates provide past records to serve as a baseline and a precursor to study future changes, and therefore more such city-scale analyses are required for overall urban sustainability.
