Abstract

As part of promoting an eco-campus facility in University of Malaya, this project has developed an automated carbon sequestration monitoring system using few sensor modules and analysis of tree growth. The tree growths (i.e., diameter and height) has been monitored to quantify carbon sequestration. The calculated carbon sequestration is also compared with the data collected from the proposed sensor. The study area was conducted at Rimba Ilmu, UM and the prediction of the carbon sequestration for the next 10 years is also presented in this paper. The analysis presented in this paper has added new insight on achieving carbon balanced ecosystem in the campus through the tracking and quantification of the carbon stored in the tree. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
