Therefore, cities are major contributors to climate change, and urban areas are responsible to emit a high proportion of CO 2 into the atmosphere (Churkina, 2008;Grimm et al., 2008). Accordingly, climate change mitigation strategies should be implied in cities to reduce CO 2 emissions (Sówka & Bezyk, 2018).The literature search shows that one of the cheapest, most sustainable, and most useful methods for reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is biological carbon sequestration (Nowak & Crane, 2002;Sinoga et al., 2012). Carbon sequestration, precisely, refers to a process in which the atmospheric carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds by photosynthesis process in trees, plants, phytoplankton, and algae (Adams
