Description
Summary:Fruit trees as agricultural commodities are grown in residential as shading trees and CO2 sequestration. This study aims to identify the fruit species that has the function of CO2 sequestration in minimizing the effects of air pollution caused by pollutants in the domestic housing. This research method is a survey to test model CO2 calculation mathematically using Takaoki Method and convert the production of CO2 by the house. Samples are fruit trees planted in residential area in Yogyakarta. The results showed that there are several types of fruit trees that have high CO2 sequestration namely Pometia pinnata, Artocarpus heterophyllus and Syzygium aqueum, which is recommended to be planted in order to reduce pollutants in the domestic housing.
