Abstract

Urban vegetation, particularly urban forests are a crucial component of green infrastructure in our cities. A strong interest is related to the ecosystem services provided to both people and the environment including CO2 sequestration and air quality improvement. However few in situ experimental studies exist on these topics while most of the estimations derive from modelling exercise. Preliminary results of an innovative eddy covariance site located in the Real Bosco di Capodimonte within the urban area of Naples (Italy) are presented here.
