This study assessed the growth, biomass, and carbon storage potential of four urban tree species—Pinus roxburghii, Broussonetia papyrifera, Jacaranda mimosifolia, Eucalyptus camaldulensis—in Islamabad's greenbelts. Sampling was conducted using a quadrat method, covering five sites (F-9, G-8, H-8, I-8, Zero-Point), with 400 trees analyzed. Growth parameters such as diameter at breast height (DBH), height, aboveground biomass (AGB), density (ACD), belowground (BCD), basal area (BA), volume were measured. E. camaldulensis recorded highest AGB (mean: 2.07 t ha⁻¹, range: 0.05–6.54 ha⁻¹), ACD 971.43 BCD 233.14 along largest DBH 47.31 cm) 20.10 m). B. papyrifera showed significant potential, mean values 373.94 ha⁻¹ 89.75 respectively. In contrast, J. mimosifolia displayed lowest (0.2493 ha⁻¹) but considerable variability, ranging from 7.68 to 59.83 cm. P. roxburghii exhibited moderate values, 0.45 212.36 ha⁻¹. Overall, AGB, ACD, across all species 0.89 418.73 100.49 respectively, while ranged 12.07 154.94 m² 61.84 ha⁻¹). Statistical analysis revealed positive correlations among DBH, (p < 0.05). The findings underscore most effective for sequestration, demonstrated soil fertility implications. Future research should explore long-term ecological impacts management strategies these in landscapes.

The world faces two significant challenges: promoting sustainable economic growth and reaching carbon neutrality. In BRICS countries, these challenges are shaped by renewable energy, green taxes, trade openness. These countries were selected for their strategic location the abundance of relevant data collected over period 1990-2021, providing a distinctive window into energy dynamics area. link between consumption, openness, natural resources effects on emissions in is examined this study using Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square Method (FMOLS) estimator Drisc Kraay robustness test. findings indicate that taxes primarily contribute to reducing emissions, particularly at higher levels. reveals various factors, namely financial globalization, efficient resource management, population growth, substantially impact Population positively impacts neutrality, while sources mitigates it. Furthermore, empirical show statistically positive association neutrality nations. Therefore, it necessary implement an integrated ecological governance strategy control direct towards development energy.
