其他摘要:Vegetation has a role in reducing CO 2 from anthropogenic activities through photosynthesis. Fuel combustion is one of the activities that greatly contribute to CO 2 emissions. As a city with many destinations, the possibility of CO 2 emissions will increase in Bogor especially on holidays because of motorized vehicle from other cities. This research aims to determine the absorption capability of vegetation in Bogor City in reducing CO 2 emitted from fuel combustion. We analyzed CO 2 data for 2017 by day to obtain traffic levels in the city assuming that people mobility using vehicle was influenced by day. Then we separated CO 2 data into slow and fast photosynthesis rate based on air temperature. We determined the absorption capability of vegetation at daily basis by calculating the difference between the min and the max of CO 2 concentration divided by the min of CO 2 . Our results showed that the lowest CO 2 level was in Sunday. On that day, the average air temperatur was high indicating the less CO 2 concentration. Our one-way Anova test confirmed this finding. The finding revealed that the absorption capability of vegetation to reduce anthropogenic CO 2 was still limited. To implement Bogor as green city, more vegetations and gardens are needed to balance an increased CO 2 .
