In our recently published paper, we provide an ultra-high-resolution estimation of CO₂ absorption and emission by urban vegetation in Munich and Zurich. To validate our modeling, our team also conducted a comprehensive year-long field measurement campaign. Accurately quantifying these biogenic CO₂ fluxes is a critical step toward better understanding and isolating anthropogenic CO₂ emissions in urban environments.

This work has garnered media attention. Our team was recently interviewed by BR24, with the segment featured prominently on the evening news. Additionally, the study and its key findings have been covered in dedicated articles by ARD Tagesschau, BR24, and the official Technical University of Munich (TUM) website.
